Due to a reduction in our funding, there are unfortunately insufficient funds for us to continue providing the housing industry with free technical guidance and advice. Alot of the technical guidance will remain available through this website, and where possible, we aim to provide you with useful links to other sites.
The Energy Saving Trust technical team will continue to undertake a range of activities within the domestic energy efficiency and technical arena. These will include delivering activity such as the Technology Strategy Board Retrofit for the Future, heat pump and solar thermal field trials and the National Refurbishment Centre.
