The Challange and Opportunity

Over recent years Housing Associations have invested many millions of pounds in upgrading and retrofitting existing properties and in constructing new highly energy-efficient homes.

However anticipated outcomes are not being realised due to energy behaviour of tenants leading to:

  • Continuing fuel poverty / impacts on health
  • Little impact on arrears management
  • Limited carbon savings

This represents a poor return on investment for RSLs and reduced benefits for tenants.

Supporting tenants in achieving energy behavioural change can yield over 10% reduction in energy use representing significant cash savings for households.

Worthing Homes’ multi award-winning RELISH programme demonstrated savings of over £200 per annum can be made purely through supporting tenants change their energy behaviour. AfSL is the UK’s first RELISH approved adopter.

AfSL's Services for Housing Associations

Action for Sustainable Living has developed a range of services for Housing Associations to engage, enthuse and support tenants in saving energy and money.

Built on past successful energy programmes AfSL has developed the Energy Academy and recruited a new team to offer a comprehensive package of support for housing associations and tenants covering:

  • Training and support for residents in sharing energy knowledge with neighbours, friends and family
  • Training for RSL staff in energy efficiency communication
  • Quantification of financial and carbon savings as well as social outcomes

Our programme is backed up with full use of RELISH communications materials.

To find out more about AfSL’s low-cost, high-gearing behaviour change model, or to discuss how AfSL can assist your tenants in cutting energy bills, please contact Simon Robinson:
