In partnership with Chris Barnett Associates and developed through the online Environmental Matrix for Housing tool, Sustainable Homes can provide assistance on developing environmental assessments, strategies and action plans. This work involves five stages:
- A 'where do I start?' workshop is held, identifying environmental subject areas with staff, and possibly residents, prioritising the most important subjects for the landlord.
- The information from the workshop is analysed and written up as a full report identifying priority areas for the landlord.
- A second workshop then undertakes a baseline assessment of performance in each of the priority subjects and sectors.
- This information is analysed and an impact/action assessment is carried out.
- A full report is produced listing the various environmental impacts and how well they are being addressed. Where impacts are not being properly dealt with recommended activities will be suggested, including action plans covering new build, existing and in-house activities, as appropriate, and full data sets ready for input to the Environmental Matrix for Housing.
The cost for the five stage process is £8,000 plus VAT.
