Did you know that British homes lose up to 35% of their heat through walls? As energy efficiency becomes a priority for many households, proper insulation is one of the most impactful ways to save energy and reduce bills.

If you’re looking to adopt greener technologies, a “fabric first” approach to insulation is essential. This method focuses on insulating areas that lose the most heat—like walls and roofs—helping your home retain warmth and making heating systems more efficient. The result? A cozier living space with lower energy costs.

How to Get Started

Join the HEAT Hub for a free workshop designed to guide you through the process of insulating traditional Victorian homes. This event will cover:

  • Typical costs, materials, and methods for insulation.
  • Strategies to maximize the energy performance of your walls and roof.
  • Preparing your home for efficient renewable energy systems.

You’ll also have the opportunity to ask questions and receive expert advice.

Join HEAT Hub at Queens Walk Community Centre, for the ‘How to Insulate traditional, Victorian homes’ event.

Queens Walk Community Centre, The Meadows, Nottingham, NG2 2DF Thursday 23rd January, 18:00 – 19:30

This is your last chance to participate in their comprehensive event series, with the HEAT Hub project closing in March 2025. Register today: http://www.bit.ly/InsulateCity or call 0115 985 3000

What is the HEAT Hub?

The Home Energy Advice Team (HEAT) Hub is a government-funded initiative led by Nottingham Energy Partnership (NEP) and Marches Energy Agency (MEA) in collaboration with local councils and the Midlands Net Zero Hub. It offers homeowners impartial advice and step-by-step guidance on transitioning to low-carbon energy systems. With a suite of resources—including practical workshops, technical drawings, and a directory of vetted contractors—the HEAT Hub simplifies the process of making energyefficient upgrades while helping you avoid costly mistakes.

Can the HEAT Hub Help You?

Traditional homes, especially those off the gas grid or in conservation areas, face unique challenges when it comes to reducing reliance on fossil fuels. These properties often require tailored solutions for energy efficiency upgrades. The HEAT Hub’s team of experts—including architects, retrofit assessors, and coordinators—will help you develop a personalized plan that balances heritage preservation with energy efficiency.
