Please help to make this project personalised to our islands here on Barra & Vatersay by competing the survey below.

The Outer Hebrides Domestic Decarbonisation project is a collaborative project focused on tackling fuel poverty, improving the energy efficiency of homes and reducing domestic carbon emissions across the Outer Hebrides. Rather than applying generic mainland retrofit solutions, the project is developing practical, affordable approaches specifically suited to island homes, weather conditions and household circumstances.

Your feedback is valuable.
