In order to deliver carbon savings, reduce fuel poverty and create local jobs – particularly through energy-efficient retrofits – the Carbon Offset Fund has developed two databases compiling data from a number of sources and integrating energy modelling. These aim to bridge the gap between strategic decisions and individual projects. The domestic version serves over 8,000 properties in the social housing sector across the borough, with the non-domestic version serving over 130 public buildings. The GIS tool incorporates information from the above databases on maps, and enables visualisation of these buildings’ energy performance and carbon saving potential, reducing perceived complexity of energy efficiency for the community.
