Energy Advice on Offer in Allestree

More than 50 Derby residents received advice about energy efficiency and domestic renewables when the Fantastic Home visited Park Farm Shopping Centre on 9th March as part of the Allestree and Normanton LEAF project.
 
The Watt Bike, which allows people to have a go at generating energy using leg power, and a display of free energy savings items outside an empty shop unit attracted plenty of shoppers, whilst factsheets, more freebies, display boards from the council and a giant board game inside the shop gave people plenty of information about saving energy.
 
Advice was given out on loft and cavity wall insulaiton, as well as a new grants scheme for solid wall insulation (www.warmstreets.co.uk). Visitors were also interested in solar hot water and photovoltaic panels.
 
The Fantastic Home will be visiting Park Farm Shopping Centre again on Thursday 15th March and Saturday 24th March.
