University of Soton Project - ECO Refit

This is a research project involves finding households in Colden Common who would be willing to have their energy usage measured for a period of 3 years, in exchange for free loft insulation, or cavity wall insulation.

It has taken quite a lot of organising - including many meetings with the university

We will produce leafets to drop through resident's letterboxes, asking for volunteers.
