Do you want advice on how to make your home more efficient?

Architectural design of an energy efficient home

Kent County Council (KCC), working with other local authorities in the area, is offering expert advice on making homes more sustainable.

Experts from the University of Greenwich will cover how residents can get started on improving the efficiency of their properties.

The team will also provide information about insulation, building fabric, heating systems, smart buildings, self-generation and more.

The events will take place throughout July in different locations across the county.

Events have also been held for residents in Medway, led by Medway Council.

Cllr Simon Curry, Medway Council’s Portfolio Holder for Climate Change and Strategic Regeneration, said: “By investing in ways to make their homes more energy efficient, residents can actually save money on their household bills while reducing their carbon footprint. We are working hard to achieve net zero carbon in Medway by 2050 but we cannot do it alone. Like many issues relating to climate change and sustainable living, there is not a one-size-fits-all solution.

“The aim of these sessions is to provide residents with impartial advice and information to empower them to make the changes that best suit their home and lifestyle. I would encourage residents to book their place at these events to find out how they can make small changes to make their homes more energy efficient.”

These in-person events are brought to you by University of Greenwich, Medway Council, Gravesham Borough Council, Swale Borough Council, Faversham Town Council, Tonbridge and Malling Borough Council and Kent County Council.
