The refurbishment of Rawnsley House included replacement windows

The Rawnsley House project, part funded by EDF Energy, included an external insulated cladding system and a number of replacement windows, plus a new insulated roof. The project stakeholders include carbon reduction company Sustain, contractor Rok and landlord Bristol City Council.
CESP is a Government initiative which requires energy generators and suppliers to fund energy-saving measures in homes in low-income areas. It is expected that CESP will benefit around 90,000 households by December 2012.
Sustain's role in the project was to manage the funding application process, recommend appropriate energy-efficiency measures and ensure they were delivered on time.
Jim Wrigley, senior associate at Sustain, said: "This project has set a high standard for other CESP initiatives.
"The work that was carried out has resulted in a high quality energy-efficiency solution and a fantastic facelift for this block. The carbon savings will enable Bristol City Council and the residents to become more resilient to future fuel price increases."
