Energy efficiency and net zero carbon Helping our residents to reduce the cost of heating their homes by improving the energy efficiency of properties has become increasingly important. CCHA’s approach to the Government’s target of Net Zero Carbon by 2050 started several years ago with the introduction of air source heat pumps and solar panels to homes with no mains gas supply. We have recently introduced a new system that uses the data from each Energy Performance
Certificate (EPC) to help us cost, plan, and prioritise our work. The aim is for this to help us by directing our focus towards properties most in need of thermal improvement. We’re taking measures such as better double glazing, and loft insulation as part of re-roofing works, as we work towards improving the thermal performance of properties.
