Wychavon Warmer Homes
Wychavon have undertaken a heat loss survey to of all properties in the area. Using aerial thermal image based technology the results have been averaged and displayed on our online mapping database using a simple colour scheme to indicate heat loss.
We want to highlight to property owners that they may have poor insulation or are just using too much energy.
The survey was conducted over 5 nights during February and March 2007.
To view your property visit My Local Area.
Please note: Certain heat sources on the outside of the property (such as chimneys, some external flues, solar panels etc.) may affect the results.
What the colours mean
If your property is red or brown this indicates you are losing higher than average heat. This could be due to poor insulation, inefficient heating, poor heat control or you may have a very high heat source, such as a open fire or wood burning stove. If your property is yellow or green this indicates that you are losing less heat but don't be complacent and ensure that you check your home is well insulated and has an efficient heating system. Some buildings may be coloured green because they were unoccupied at the time of the survey. We hope information will be of use to encourage you to consider the energy efficiency of your home or business. |

Free Advice
Many residents may not realise that grant schemes can substantially subsidise the cost of Energy Efficiency improvements and Warmfront Grants can often help the vulnerable with the full costs of heating and insulation.
For free advice and information on subsidised insulation and heating sysytems telephone 0800 512 012 or visit our Energy Efficiency page.
