This means that you can upgrade the energy performance of your social housing with minimal disruption to the customers.

Flutter Shutter™ not only saves money and reduces the carbon footprint but also makes a significant difference to customers quality of life.

Results showcased the difference Flutter Shutter™ makes in a real-life environment, helping to calculate the cost of savings while improving the quality of life for customers.

Social Housing in Liverpool

The Liverpool City Region has been awarded a much-needed boost in the form of a £31.7m investment as part of the Government’s Wave 2 of the Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund.

The initiative aims to address fuel poverty in the region’s social housing stock by installing retrofit measures to reduce energy bills, carbon emissions, and keep homes warmer.

This investment will be split across Halton, Knowsley, Liverpool, Sefton, Knowsley and Wirral, with fourteen local housing associations working in partnership to ensure that the retrofit measures are installed where needed.

This initiative will bring long-term benefits to the region, with warmer homes, reduced energy bills for customers, a reduced carbon footprint, and significant progress towards the UK’s Net Zero targets.
