Mid-Project Report

In May 2011 a mid-project report of the Low Carbon Zone was produced to establish some of the points learnt and the carbon savings achieved whilst roughly half way through the project. Covered in the report is

• The importance of local sustainability groups and volunteers
• The progress of the Green Home Makeovers
• Exemplar Buildings in the Community
• Greening Muswell Hill Schools and Businesses
• Evaluation and learning so far
• Carbon savings to date

A full copy of the mid-project report is available for down load in the attached files section below.

How you can get involved

Every resident inside the Muswell Hill Low Carbon Zone can be involved in the project, simply by taking steps to reduce the use of energy and other resources.

We are also looking for volunteers to help distribute information to their neighbours on available subsidies, give out energy-saving devices and provide tips and advice on how to be more energy efficient at home. For more information please visit the volunteer in the LCZ page.
