Leeds City Council is the second largest Local Authority in the UK. Its Fuelsavers programme developed a strategy which has improved the energy efficiency of housing by over 21% since 1996. It currently helps 25,000 households per year, providing major insulation installations, improved heating and glazing upgrades. A new programme is providing home energy assessment visits to 32,000 homes. Improved energy metering and condensing boilers have been installed in council buildings, and a combined-heat-and-power unit at a sports centre.
