Energy efficient buildings
The winning entry also highlighted Knauf Insulation’s commitment to the environment by creating energy efficient buildings.
The company has recognised that Local Authorities can have a dramatic effect on the energy that people and businesses use and as such, the company developed a pilot study to measure the local energy and energy efficiency agendas of councils in England: the Local Authority Energy Index (LAEI).
LAEI considered how 25 chosen Local Authorities have worked to influence the energy efficiency agendas, along with ranking their work in this area using a combination of quantitative and qualitative measures to produce an overall index of performance in energy efficiency.
This highlighted best practice and explored barriers that exist for Councils trying to improve well-being and reduce energy bills for residents, businesses and their own estate.
The 2015 National Green Deal and ECO Awards took place in Manchester on the 19th June, recognising the excellent work the energy efficiency sector is doing whilst encouraging best practice throughout the industry.
