Is your building fit for the future?
Buildings consume nearly a third of all energy produced worldwide...
Over 40 participants have joined the Decarb Somerset programme because they want to:
- Reduce their energy spend
- Gain better understanding of their building’s energy usage
- Identify greener/cleaner energy solutions
- Find some quick wins
- Access bespoke, independent fundraising advice
- Make informed decisions from the fully funded, independent technical energy audit around costed energy efficiencies and their environmental response.
And they are starting to see results:
“Our energy usage is shocking for a building of this size and age, but thanks to the invaluable guidance from Kate and Robert at the Community Council for Somerset, we now have a clear roadmap to reduce our carbon footprint and improve comfort for our 2,000 weekly visitors.” Albemarle Centre, Taunton.
Join the Decarb Somerset Programme and get free one-to-one support for your building from the Community Council for Somerset (CCS) Community Advisors. They can help you to carry out your own DIY Energy Check and produce a Carbon Reduction Plan. Equipped with this greater understanding of the fabric and usage of your building, you are then eligible to apply for a limited number of fully funded technical energy audits, valued at £700.
Sign up and we will help you get ‘application-ready’ for the last chance to apply for a technical audit – applications: 16 December – 13 January 2025. Audits take place in February 2025. You can use your own existing plans to apply for an audit if you already have these.
Trying to reduce the amount of carbon that you, your organisation and your stakeholders use, is an essential part of planning for the future.
You can join if you own or rent a building in the Somerset Council area and are a:
- community-run business (social enterprise, community-run shop, and pub)
- charity (offices, housing)
- venue (cultural spaces, community buildings, sports pavilions, scout huts, church rooms)
