Setting realistic aims and objectives

Community Carbon Footprint Tool

Our online tool allows you to calculate your own and your community's carbon footprint.

Home Energy Check

The Home Energy Check is a quick and easy way to find out what measures you can install in your home to save energy and reduce your carbon footprint. If you complete and return the form you will receive a tailored report on ways to save energy in your home. The Home Energy Check is available online here or from your local Energy Saving Trust advice centre.

This form can also be useful in working out what measures are needed in homes across your community. Your Energy Saving Trust advice centre can provide you with marked Home Energy Checks for distribution around your community. As well as providing the report to everyone who completes a form the advice centre will be able to tell you what home energy efficiency measures are needed in your community (e.g. 20 people need to top up their loft insulation, 30 need cavity wall insulation etc.). This can help you to plan and prioritise your carbon saving actions. For more information contact your local Energy Saving Trust advice centre on: 0800 512 012
The Home Energy Check is different from a personal carbon calculator in that it focuses on giving you information about what measures you can take in your home to save energy and reduce your carbon footprint.
