Green Deal

In 2015, SBS was appointed by Nottingham City Homes to design and install solid wall insulation systems for more than 1,200 private and social housing properties in the Nottingham area. Worth up to £10m, the scheme was procured via the Efficiency East Midlands (EEM) Solid Wall Insulation Framework.

Work has progressed steadily since then and the latest phase is due for completion in November 2016. The results have been outstanding, with excellent resident satisfaction scores and rapid progress on site.

In July 2015, building repair and energy efficiency specialist, Sustainable Group (UK) Limited became a founder member of a new refurbishment sector initiative dedicated to making net-zero-energy housing a widespread reality in Britain.
