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>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We\u2019re excited to announce the launch of the Tiree Energy Assessment Scheme (TEAS), a project designed to improve the energy efficiency of our island\u2019s housing stock, in line with the goals outlined in our Community Development Plan.\u00a0 Thanks to funding from Argyll & Bute Council\u2019s Supporting Communities Fund, we\u2019ll be providing 30 Energy Performance Certificates [\u2026]<\/p>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":12414,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_editorskit_title_hidden":false,"_editorskit_reading_time":0,"_editorskit_is_block_options_detached":false,"_editorskit_block_options_position":"{}","editor_plus_copied_stylings":"{}","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[77,266],"tags":[251],"class_list":["post-13294","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-general","category-energy-projects","tag-home"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.tireetrust.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/erik-mclean-aCshJn3y93s-unsplash.jpg","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pfVRvl-3sq","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tireetrust.org.uk\/gd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13294","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tireetrust.org.uk\/gd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tireetrust.org.uk\/gd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tireetrust.org.uk\/gd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tireetrust.org.uk\/gd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13294"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.tireetrust.org.uk\/gd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13294\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13297,"href":"https:\/\/www.tireetrust.org.uk\/gd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13294\/revisions\/13297"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tireetrust.org.uk\/gd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12414"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tireetrust.org.uk\/gd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13294"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tireetrust.org.uk\/gd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13294"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tireetrust.org.uk\/gd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13294"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
