The Housing Energy Efficiency Learning Network is a cross-Government initiative that supports housing associations and co-operatives, local authorities and developers to provide more energy efficient housing. The network gives practical help to organisations and individuals working at a local level.
The network has been developed by the Scottish Centre for Regeneration and responds to needs expressed by people and organisations working in local areas.
How do I join?
The guidance page shows you how to join the learning network. If you are already a member of the learning network you can sign in here.
If you want more details please contact the Scottish Centre for Regeneration.
How will it work?
Joining and using the learning network's services is free.
The website's resources include:
- research and evidence
- 'How To' guides, online learning programmes and skills assessment tools
- good practice case studies from Scotland and elsewhere
- publications, briefings and learning points setting out lessons learned from previous programmes and events
A dedicated coordinator will work closely with network members to:
- identify the problems the learning network should tackle
- collect good practice, evidence of what works and details of people and organisations who have experience in tackling these problems
- share what has worked, through our website, by organising events that show good practice, and managing interactive online networking
- support people to build their capacity through developing tailored programmes examining specific problems
- commission or develop new tools, resources and research where members think there is a gap
- measure and improve the effectiveness of the learning network
What will the learning network do?
We work in partnership with Scottish Federation of Housing Associations, the Convention of Scottish Local Authorities (COSLA), Energy Savings Trust, Scottish Housing Best Value Network, Association of Local Authority Chief Housing Officers and SHARE to support housing associations, local authorities and developers to help provide more energy efficient housing. Current programmes focus on:
- technology and innovation in energy efficiency
- sustainable design
- fuel poverty
