An innovative scheme to train students to carry out energy audits at the homes of university staff throughout the Country, coordinated by the University of Worcester, is expanding thanks to funding from TEC (The Energy Consortium) and BUFDG's sister organisation AUDE (the Association of University Directors of Estates).
University employees can register to have their home audited by a trained student, who will receive a bursary payment, and provide tailored energy saving advice. As part of the scheme, Worcester Bosch will review the staff member’s boiler set points and controls and can offer technical advice about how to maximise use while reducing energy consumption. All boiler makes are applicable.
Students Organising for Sustainability UK (SOS-UK) has worked with National Energy Action (NEA) to develop the auditor training and home energy audits.
