Decision details

Members considered the Household Energy Survey, the aim of which was to support decarbonisation efforts and identify cost-effective retrofit investment to maximise carbon emission reductions. On consideration, Members requested that the questionnaire be amended to include single households in question 14, a section to provide information on which energy provider is being used, and to discover whether there would be any GDPR issues in relation to the sharing of information.

RESOLVED that the Household Energy Survey, as amended, be approved.

Reason

This will to help produce a roadmap that will support decarbonisation efforts and will identify cost-effective retrofit investment to maximise carbon emission reductions. This is a key area of focus as 32% of the Borough’s emissions comes from heating and lighting homes.
