Energy Efficiency of Local Authority owned stock: Installation of insulation - lofts (8656) Metric type
- Help text
- This is the number of dwellings owned by your local authority where there has been installation of insulation via loft or roof insulation, in the reporting year. Loft or roof insulation laid in the loft space or between roof rafters to a depth of at least 270 mm (recommended depth for mineral wool insulation) significantly reduces heat loss through the roof. The insulation makes it much more difficult for heat to pass through the roof by providing a layer of material which has lots of air pockets that trap heat. The loft space must have adequate ventilation to prevent dampness.
This refers to dwellings owned by the local authority, whether they are located within the local authority area or not.
Where works are to common parts, public and private open areas, or in the case of blocks of flats, to the structure, roofs or other shared elements, it is the total number of dwellings among which the costs of works is to be apportioned. In the case of dwellings that have been sold, only a proportion of the dwellings to reflect the council’s remaining net financial responsibility, if any that are counted.
