Programme design and consultancy
For governments, local authorities, communities and housing associations, we will build upon our years of experience to advise, develop and deliver large energy efficiency programmes.
- Our approach is empathetic: we understand the sensitivities of helping people out of fuel poverty and also the complexities of political administration.
- Our project management is thorough, methodical and robust: we understand the importance of matching the right measures to the right householders, using the right supply chain.
- Our consultancy draws on our expertise: we have in-house experts and contacts throughout government and industry, all of whom share our passion for helping households.
We work in a variety of ways to support government projects, be they for the UK, Scottish or Welsh governments, the Northern Ireland Assembly, local government or the European Union. The projects themselves may be diverse, but for the Energy Saving Trust they are all not-for-profit and they all help people to take effective action.
We can advise on national and international policies to help local authorities to devise their own strategies. We can advise local authorities using our database of available funds and information on incentives.
We have a range of support resources available for local authorities in England, Scotland and Wales, including:
- Training, workshops and presentations on a number of sustainable energy topics
- Local carbon assessment reports - provides an assessment of energy usage and emissions data attributable to local authorities
- Home analytics - provides housing data and analysis to help target retrofit activity
- Water energy calculator and model
- Funding information and bid support
- Finance consultancy and green finance support for those looking to investigate innovative ways to finance retrofit
- Economic impact assessment which looks at the impact of potential schemes on jobs and economic growth
- Energy services consultancy
We can help community projects through the difficult processes of research, administration, and grant applications: we can help them to make a start, maintain their momentum, deliver results, and act as exemplars for other communities.
Advice programmes can be custom-made for clients, from governments to communities.
Our advice services for local authorities and other organisations includes:
- Advice for Green Deal providers
- Scheme design and evaluation
- Energy-efficient financial innovation
- Training and validation
- Trials and testing
