Harrogate Borough Council (HBC) recently launched an ambitious pilot scheme to make council-owned properties across the Harrogate district as energy-efficient as possible.
HBC have a target to achieve net-zero carbon emissions for the borough by 2038. To ensure our housing stock of around 4,000 homes supports this vision, a comprehensive programme is required.
The pilot scheme on 85 properties involves installing energy-efficient heating systems, insulation, glazing and solar panel, for example. If it proves to be a success, the retrofitting of all properties will start soon after with a completion target of mid-2033.
