The \u00a31m Illingworth project was funded in part through the Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund’s first wave and has seen annual savings of up to \u00a3169 for occupiers<\/h2>\n

Completed by Sustainable Building Services (UK) Ltd in collaboration with Together Housing, work at the Illingworth project in West Yorkshire included the installation of both PermaRock external wall insulation system, incorporating non-combustible mineral fibre insulation, and loft insulation.<\/p>\n

The project has been recognised in the House of Commons as an example of the energy-saving potential of retrofitting and decarbonisation<\/a> works.<\/p>\n

Occupiers have saved up to \u00a3169 a year<\/h3>\n

The project was funded in part through the first wave of the Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund (SHDF)<\/a>, provided by the government\u2019s Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (formally BEIS).<\/p>\n

After works have been completed, nearly 70 properties had their energy efficiency values improved, raising their EPC ratings from D to at least a rating of C.<\/p>\n

Gary Lawson, managing director at Sustainable Building Services, said: \u201cThe energy efficiency upgrades to more than 60 homes in Illingworth is a shining example of what is possible through targeted retrofit investment<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe decarbonisation of 26m UK homes is critical to meeting net zero targets and we\u2019re pleased to be using our expertise alongside conscientious organisations like Together Housing to enhance the living conditions for thousands of people every year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Together Housing is continuing the retrofitting works in Sowerby Bridge<\/h3>\n

Patrick Berry, director of Together Net Zero, said: \u201cIt\u2019s great to see this first wave now complete and residents benefitting from the work that has been undertaken.<\/p>\n

\u201cLow-carbon homes mean a lower cost to our residents, which is extremely important in the current world we live in. What\u2019s more, we\u2019ve been able to prepare these homes for more renewable technology when the time is right.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd we\u2019re delighted to be able to continue this work into the second wave of the Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund, doing the same as we\u2019ve done in Illingworth to a further 154 properties and making improvements to more than 2,000 other homes in the area.\u201d<\/p>\n

Together Housing has already begun work in Sowerby Bridge, undertaking improvements similar to the Illingworth project.<\/p>\n

Cllr Scott Patient, Calderdale Council\u2019s Cabinet Member for Climate Change and Resilience, said: \u201cProjects like this are really important, and this level of investment from Together Housing is very impressive as we attempt to tackle the effects of climate change. Having met residents and seen the houses, it\u2019s clear the work undertaken will benefit the community for years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n

Choosing the correct insulation can help your property stay warm in the winter and cool in the summer<\/h3>\n

Actis Eolis HC<\/a> is a two-in-one reflected insulation product with an integrated vapour barrier. This will enable builders and roofers to reduce the number of steps required to achieve a U-value as well as airtightness in roofs.<\/p>\n
