Low Carbon Communities Challenge
The Low Carbon Community Challenge (LCCC) programme follows the 2009 ‘Big Energy Shift’ which suggested that households could benefit significantly from joined-up ‘packages’ of support, delivered locally in the community, to help them reduce home energy consumption and make deep cuts in their carbon emissions.

Green Deal Critical
It is critical for the Green Deal to work and drive domestic awareness about saving energy, according to Gordon Miller, sustainability and communications director of Sustain Worldwide.
He explained that as homes account for 25 per cent of CO2 emissions and the UK must meet the target to reduce carbon emissions by 80 per cent by 2050, households must "engage" with energy efficiency.
"Secondly, the government sees 'green jobs' as a major driver in the UK's economic recovery," Mr Miller said.
Mansfield Council Approves Green Heating Trial
Mansfield District Council has approved a green heating trial to be implemented in 55 properties in the region.
The homes could receive ground and air source heating if a public consultation of local residents also gives the scheme the go-ahead.
Properties in the New England Way area of Mansfield had been installed with coal-fired and gas boilers under a district heating scheme, but the council is now looking at low carbon alternatives.
If the trial is successful, it is hoped that the heating system will be rolled out to other properties on the old scheme.
The council claims that if all 1,630 homes are converted, carbon emissions will be cut by 98 per cent.
Councillor Heather Henshaw, portfolio holder for housing at the council, said: "Some of the current district heating systems are getting tired and we have been working hard on plans for a long term replacement for sometime.
"We hope other householders in the district will also be able to see the benefits of this new type of heating at first hand and consider installing their own systems."
