Energy Innovation for Deprived Communities
Using innovations to alleviate fuel poverty, stimulate energy efficiency supply chain and low carbon economy in the 10 most deprived communities in the Yorkshire and Humber region.
This is a complex and large scale European Development Fund (ERDF) funded project, completed in 2014, which involves a large consortium partnership of six local authorities, six housing associations, an energy company and the University of Sheffield.
It aimed to alleviate fuel poverty, stimulate the energy efficiency supply chain and low carbon economy, and reduce CO2 in the 10 most deprived communities in the Yorkshire and Humber region.
A multi-disciplinary team from supply chain management, architecture, civil and structural engineering, computer science and psychology from the University were pulled together to deliver the innovation in live environments.
