Distributing information to households on how to reduce energy consumption

1. What methods do you utilise to distribute information regarding home energy efficiency (such as grants or energy saving advice)? e.g. Letters, phone calls etc

  • Web pages
  • Social media posts on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter
  • Direct mailings
  • Community drop-in sessions advertised locally

2. Do you specifically target this at low-income households, or do you distribute this to every household in your area

  • Direct mailings are targeted to the audience we need to find depending on the target of the funding we are spending. This could be low-income households, people living in off-gas properties, people living in a property with an Energy Performance Certificate below a ‘C’ or people living with a disability.

3. Would you be able to share any of the approximate annual costs involved in these distribution methods?

  • Devon County Council does not hold this information.  The cost of distributing energy efficiency advice is done on an ad-hoc basis as the need arises, not on an annual basis.
