We've spent £83m since 2005 to bring our Council homes up to low carbon standards.
Did you know that homes make up 30% of our City’s carbon emissions?
Our investment has resulted in a 49% reduction in C02 emissions.
To help pay for this we secured £12m in external grants. We’ve also received £10m in income from the renewable energy generated, which goes towards helping to fund more improvements.
We have also delivered energy saving advice to 1,900 residents, saving them an estimated £324k and 460 tonnes of CO2.
Our work in north Manchester includes:
• 1,600 solid wall properties have received external render and insulation
• 14 high rise blocks of flats have received external render and insulation
• 550 homes have heat pumps as an alternative to a traditional gas boiler
• 2,350 roofs have solar PV
• 300 blocks of flats have low energy lighting
• 11,900 homes with double glazing
• 5,100 homes with cavity wall insulation
• 7,000 homes with loft top-up insulation
