We have commissioned a thermal map of South Derbyshire. This can help business, individuals and the authority to work out where measures such as insulation may help to reduce energy consumption.
Use the postcode finder or the map's controls to locate your home or business and see if you are losing heat through your buildings.
If your property looks blue then you are super-efficient (or the property is empty). Green means that you are doing ok and not wasting the earth's precious resources. Red means that your house is a hot spot and you could probably take some simple steps to reduce your energy consumption.
