Wates - Stevenage Borough Council
Stevenage Borough Council Case Study
Stevenage Borough Council Case Study
In 2022, Wates Living Space (Wates) completed the retrofit of 140 homes for Stevenage Borough Council, a collaborative project where innovation was embraced, lessons were learned, and best practice was adopted. Delivered through the Green Homes Grant Local Authority Delivery (LAD) scheme, the contract combined energy efficiency measures, including Photovoltaics (PV), the success of which has enabled Stevenage Borough Council to make great strides in its journey to net zero
The team install GSM meters to the PV panels, giving the council remote access to the individual PV systems to monitor data and assess performance. This will result in operational efficiency, preventing the need for the council to visit properties to assess the PV systems, allowing for quick and immediate access to view energy production and consumption. In addition, pigeon protection has been installed alongside PV panels to protect them from damage and prolong their life.
