Green Key - open the door to an energy efficient home
|
What is Green Key? Green Key aims to promote energy efficiency to new homeowners in rural Gloucestershire and South Gloucestershire, resulting in lower fuel bills, more comfortable and re-saleable homes, and a cleaner global environment. Green Key offers new homeowners competitive prices on insulation measures, efficient heating and electrical appliances, access to an independent energy survey and free energy efficiency advice. The scheme is a partnership between Forest of Dean District Council, Stroud District Council, Cotswold District Council and South Gloucestershire Council. It is funded by a HECAction Award from the Energy Saving Trust and managed by the Severn Wye Energy Agency, a local non-profit organisation dedicated to sustainable energy development. |

Why energy efficiency is important to homeowners.
| Comfort and Economy - An energy efficient home is cheaper to heat and easier to keep warm and comfortable. | |
| Re- saleability - Forthcoming government legislation is likely to introduce an energy efficiency report into the home selling process. This means that if and when you come to sell your home, greater energy efficiency will be a selling point. | |
| Protecting the Environment - The use of fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere contributing to global warming and climate change. Energy efficiency is an important way to help control this as well as making your home more comfortable. |

Buying energy efficient appliances
| When you buy a new electrical appliance look for the A rating on the Energy Label. It will cost less to run and you will be doing your bit to protect the environment. Over its lifetime, the cost of running an appliance can be more than the initial purchase cost - so it's worth buying the most efficient appliance you can! Electrical retailers who are members of the Green Key Scheme are guaranteed to stock Energy rated 'A' electrical appliances, many at very competitive prices.
