Royston & Villages Home Study
We're working on a guide for homeowners on how to make properties in Royston and the surrounding villages both energy and cost efficient — fit for a greener future. We know that every home is unique, and so are your needs and challenges. That’s why we want to hear directly from you!
Phase 1: Household Survey
We’ve created a brief survey to understand the goals, concerns, and needs of Royston area households regarding home heating and energy efficiency. Your feedback will inform the study and help us tailor our services, resources, and community initiatives to better support you and other homeowners in our area.
Phase 2: Mapping Homes
Next we will be identifying groups of homes with similar characteristics. For example, homes built in the same estate with similar materials and construction methods. We will use your survey responses, our local knowledge, and Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) data to map estate boundaries.
Phase 3: Home Surveys
and Energy Monitoring
In Phase 3 we will survey local homes and collect real-time energy consumption data. We are looking for residents of Royston, Barley, Barkway, and Ashwell who are interested in joining the study. You can let us know in the survey above if you'd like to volunteer your home and be considered for a free home survey and energy consultation.
Phase 4: Creating the Royston & Villages Retrofit Guide
Finally we'll bring it all together in a step-by-step, public resource tailored specifically to our area.
