Helping People Reduce Bills and Save Energy at Home

What is this project:

Northumberland County Council declared a climate emergency in 2019 and has an ambition for the county of Northumberland to be net-zero by 2040. One way to do this is to reduce domestic energy use.

How this project is useful:

We want people living in our properties to be empowered to reduce their energy bills while making sure their homes are healthy environments. So, we want to provide information about how to save energy at home.

Project outcome:

You will research, design, and produce digital content about how to reduce energy use and maintain a healthy home. This content should be accessible, practical and easy to understand.

To do this you will:

Research energy efficiency practices
Work with the Warmer Homes Team to assess which energy efficiency practices are most useful for council tenants
Design digital advice content for publication on the council website (following review by the Warmer Homes Team)

Key skills:

Energy efficiency
Teamwork
Communication
Design
Graphic design
User experience
