Rotherham residents are among the first in the country to benefit from thousands of pounds worth of refurbishment works, thanks to a major government initiative. Six council tenants will see home improvements carried out to improve energy efficiency, including improvements to insulation using sustainable products such as paper, wood fibre insulation and reducing fuel consumption by installing solar thermal heating systems, PassivHaus heating systems and many other environmentally friendly products as part of the £17 million ‘Retrofit for the Future’ competition. Bramall Construction will carry out the work in partnership with the local ALMO, 2010 Rotherham, after being awarded £150,000 funding in the competition. ‘Retrofit for the Future’ was launched by the Technology Strategy Board, backed by Prime Minister Gordon Brown, with the aim of bringing existing housing up to excellent environmentally friendly standards.
