Bristol: A new project is set to make homes in Bristol warmer and more affordable. The Bristol Leap initiative will upgrade over 28,000 social housing properties.

This project includes important energy-saving improvements. These upgrades will help reduce carbon emissions and fight fuel poverty for vulnerable residents.

Bristol City Leap is a 20-year partnership between the city council and energy companies. They announced exciting progress this week.

Key upgrades include new insulation for walls, roofs, and lofts. This will keep homes warm in winter and cool in summer.

New uPVC windows will be installed in flats and communal areas. These windows will improve security and energy efficiency.

Residents will also get new front doors, enhancing safety and insulation. The overall look of the buildings will improve too.

Improved ventilation systems will help with indoor air quality. This will make homes healthier by reducing dampness and mould.

These upgrades will lower energy consumption and heating costs. They will also create a more comfortable living space for residents.

Mark Apsey from Ameresco highlighted the rising costs of heating homes. He emphasized the importance of these upgrades for those in poorly insulated buildings.

Councillor Barry Parsons noted that the project aims to improve energy efficiency and adapt homes to climate changes. Residents will benefit from better insulation and security.

The Bristol Leap project also supports residents with free energy advice through the Centre for Sustainable Energy.
