Using innovations to alleviate fuel poverty, stimulate energy efficiency supply chain and low carbon economy in the 10 most deprived communities in the Yorkshire and Humber region.
This is a complex and large scale European Development Fund (ERDF) funded project, completed in 2014, which involves a large consortium partnership of six local authorities, six housing associations, an energy company and the University of 91̽»¨.
It aimed to alleviate fuel poverty, stimulate the energy efficiency supply chain and low carbon economy, and reduce CO2 in the 10 most deprived communities in the Yorkshire and Humber region.
A multi-disciplinary team from supply chain management, architecture, civil and structural engineering, computer science and psychology from the University were pulled together to deliver the innovation in live environments.
