Energy efficiency
We have continued our programme of boiler, window and door replacements and insulation improvements, targeting the lowest performing stock for energy efficiency.
312 properties had loft/cavity wall insulation upgrades.
The average energy performance of our homes on the scale of A to G is 69.61 which is in the C range (69-80). Where A is very energy efficient, with lower running costs and G is not energy efficient with higher running costs.
Fire safety
Fire risk assessments (FRAs) are required for blocks of flats with shared/communal areas – inside a block this could include corridors, stairways, door entrances, communal rooms or refuse storage areas.
The FRA covers the shared areas up to entrance doors of each flat within a block.
Norwich City Council (NCC) have carried out FRAs to all our blocks (over 1500 low-high rise) with another 800+ blocks requiring an assessment of the external wall systems only.
NCC are rolling out a front door replacement programme in the 2024, to ensure all such doors which are required to be a fire door, are fully compliant.
