We’re excited to announce the launch of the Tiree Energy Assessment Scheme (TEAS), a project designed to improve the energy efficiency of our island’s housing stock, in line with the goals outlined in our Community Development Plan.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thanks to funding from Argyll & Bute Council’s Supporting Communities Fund, we’ll be providing 30 Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) to households who self-report spending over 10% of their income on fuel bills and whose properties are poorly insulated<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is a fantastic opportunity to gather accurate data on the condition of Tiree’s housing stock -something we’ve long suspected to be in need of improvement but haven’t yet been able to evidence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We’ll use this information to move forward with our aim of improving the existing housing across Tiree, helping reduce energy bills and carbon impact over the long term. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We’re also looking forward to offering:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \ud83d\udca1 Quick Tips:<\/strong> Share simple, practical advice to help reduce energy bills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \ud83d\udee0\ufe0f Energy Efficiency Improvements:<\/strong> Connect eligible households with funding opportunities via Home Energy Scotland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The TEAS project has been made possible through the support of Argyll & Bute Council and Community Energy Scotland.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Keep an eye out for our call for volunteers to participate in this project! <\/p>\n\n\n\n PS. What’s the Gaelic for heat? Teas! (See what we did there?) It’s pronounced “chess”.<\/em><\/p>",
