Home energy in the Highlands - community consultation

TBI is one of six community groups currently in the process of setting up and obtaining funding for a Highland Energy Community Partnership, which it is intended will  'implement a step-change in energy advice and retrofit activity in the Scottish Highlands'.

In preparation for setting up the partnership the groups are conducting a simple survey to gather information from people throughout the Highlands about their current heating systems and energy use, and what they might be able to do to use less energy and reduce carbon emissions.

The survey will only take 5 or 6 minutes to complete, and consists of simple tick-box questions with the opportunity to add additional comments.  Submissions are anonymous, and we encourage you to complete the survey as a step towards increasing the efficiency and reducing the carbon footprint of heating in all Highland homes.
