This appraisal has now been completed and Community Wise is seeking to implement the recommendations. These have been prioritised:Replace existing gas boiler with new energy efficient boiler. The existing boiler is 20 years old and has an efficiency of 60%. A new boiler would have an efficiency of 90%. Install flat roof insulation. Install Cavity wall insulation within the exterior walls. Install solar voltaic panels.
In September 09 our existing gas boiler was replaced with a new energy efficient boiler. An award for £4,700 from Veolia Environmental Trust Landfill Communities Fund has enabled Community Wise to install Cavity Wall Insulation and replace the remainder of our single glazed windows. In early May Communty Wise received the news that our application to E-on Sustainable Energy Fund had been successful. An award of £10,000 will be made towards the insulation of the flat roof. With donations and fund-raising events to match fund, this work is planned to be completed during August 10. Monthly Farmers Markets
