Housing (Focus Area 4)
The Council owns 2600 dwelling that are rented out providing homes for residents in North Warwickshire. As the owner of these property the Council is responsible for reducing emissions of these properties by ensuring homes are energy efficient. By improving the energy efficiency of buildings by improving insulation, installing new windows and door, reducing drafts and other methods, the amount of energy and heating each building needs can be reduced, this in turn reduces the emissions of these dwellings.
What the Council needs to do
- Ongoing retrofit of existing homes
- Build new homes to a low or zero carbon standard
- Engage our tenants to help us deliver solutions
