Relish: (Residents 4 Low Impact, Sustainable Homes)
In collaboration with our project partners, Worthing Homes and Rydon, we launched the Relish project at the National Housing Maintenance Forum at Stratford-upon-Avon in January 2010.
Our objective is to demonstrate the effectiveness of low-cost retrofit improvement works, coupled with training and support to modify occupational behaviour, in reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions in occupied homes.
The initial 12 month pilot study continues to enjoy the support of Constructing Excellence as an 'Innovation in Practice' project and has attracted interest from the Homes and Communities Agency, social housing landlords and Members of Parliament.
