Nottingham City Council’s Greener HousiNG Scheme Installed Retrofit Measures On 1,036 Homes
PublishedAnalyzing how we currently use energy in our homes and then incorporating energy efficiencies measures is one of the first steps on the journey to making energy use more sustainable. Corrective measures often include retrofits for old homes, including energy efficiency improvements such as insulation, solar panels, and air source heat pumps. Nottingham City Council in the United Kingdom has been rolling out such retrofits as part of its Greener HousiNG scheme.
The Greener HousiNG team has been working to retrofit both privately owned and social homes, supporting the city’s ambitious target to be carbon neutral by 2028 and the City Council’s strategy to reduce instances of fuel poverty.

Wayne Bexton, Director of Environment and Sustainability at Nottingham City Council, said: “I am delighted that we have been shortlisted for an MJ Award for our Greener HousiNG scheme. This vital scheme is improving homes in the city, making them more comfortable for residents while also reducing energy bills and carbon emissions.”
