Social housing

Social housing makes up 18% of the English housing stock. It is the most energy efficient of any tenure, achieving average SAP ratings some 10 points higher (out of 100) than other tenures. However, there is still much that remains to be done and the leadership of the social housing sector will need to continue if we are to achieve an 80% reduction in emissions from the domestic sector as a whole.

Reducing emissions from social housing has been developed as a single, comprehensive source of information for housing management organisations across the UK and is the first comprehensive guide applicable to all sectors produced since 1994.

If you're a housing professional, our free online guide could help you save energy, time and money. The guide has been tailored to each country in the UK, so you can get information that is specific to your needs and takes account of relevant legislation and policy.
