With the second round of funding recently confirmed, Parity Projects is pleased to announce that it has been chosen as a key delivery partner for a number of the successful Low Carbon Assessment Fund projects. The projects represent a broad scope and scale, and span a wide geographical range, with partner organisations including:

• Bathford Energy Group, Somerset
• East Hampshire Environment Network, Hampshire   
  
• Ecoisland, Isle of Wight 
• Energy Efficient Widcombe, Somerset
• Liverpool Housing Trust, Liverpool 
• Staffordshire Housing Association, Staffordshire
• Sustainable Merton and London Sustainability Exchange, London
• Wadebridge Renewable Energy Network, Cornwall

In line with the funding brief, the projects are all broadly aimed at helping the organisations, and the communities they represent, to prepare for the Green Deal. As such they include activities covering our full range of services, from our award-winning Home Energy Masterplans and Stock Assessments, to accredited training courses in “sustainable refurbishment”  and expert consultancy. We’re confident that these services can all play a significant role in helping the partners understand the retrofit potential in their community, build local capacity, and raise awareness about home energy efficiency.

We look forward to working with all of the partners over what will be a very busy few weeks up to the end of March. We will try to make sure we keep our website and blog up-to-date with the latest news from the projects and any interesting conclusions we can draw about the practical implications of the Green Deal, which is due to start in Autumn of this year.
