CVL Thermal Comfort Project

The project aims to empower vulnerable residents in East Middlesbrough by addressing significant energy inefficiencies in homes across the community. Creating a lasting impact on household comfort, financial resilience, and overall community wellbeing.

They will utilise innovative thermal imaging technology to identify heat loss, insulation gaps, draughts, cold spots, condensation, and ventilation issues within homes. By initially mapping a selection of representative houses from the three predominant housing types within the community, they will rapidly generate a scalable blueprint of practical, cost-effective solutions suitable for wider implementation.

The project will deliver direct interventions, such as draught excluders, insulation enhancements, and ventilation improvements, providing tangible, immediate benefits to residents. Alongside these measures, they will run tailored community workshops and home visits to offer targeted, practical advice and education, empowering residents to sustainably reduce their energy costs and improve their living conditions.
