A grant from the Green Energy Trust has helped install features such as more efficient insulation and solar panels. These features including pre heating of water mean that each resident will cut their carbon foot print by 1.5 tons per year. Currently Scottish households emit 13 million tons of C02 a year or on average 5.6 tons per residence.
Any Scottish household can currently receive a 4000 pound grant to install renewable energy technology such as wind, solar thermal heating, small-hydro, and biomass. This mix is part of a wider initiative to cut emissions by 40% by 2020.
