With
the fast pace of 'eco' initiatives being launched in the
UK, and in response to our clients' need to be one step
ahead of competitors, Focal Research is developing a new
Eco-Intelligence Module. This Module collates
'green' information into one place for immediate access
and ease of use and will, like all of our products, be
continually updated for clients. Development of
the Module will take place over 3 phases, phase 1 of
which is available now.
Phase 1
will provide you with access to maps and reports
allowing you to generate target landlord lists, Phase 2
will enable you to link these lists to an automated
mailing list facility and Phase 3 will complete our
research into landlords' Sustainability and
Environmental Strategies/Plans.
The new Eco-Intelligence Module will contain:-
-
A Climate Change Menu
covering Government announcements and the timing of
key legislation, plus executive summaries on
relevant initiatives such as RHI, FITS, CESP and the
future ECO.
-
Landlord Sustainability and Environmental
Strategies/Plans
to help you identify and understand each landlord’s
stance on future green initiatives. Phase 1
covers Housing Associations with more than 10,000
stock and
will detail the document name and period covered
i.e. 2010-2014, with an embedded website link for
ease of access to the full document contents.
Phases 2 and 3 will then continue to collate the
same details for Housing Associations with
5,000-9,999 stock and for all Local Authorities.
-
Centralised Contact Details
for all key posts with ‘green/eco responsibilities’
in Local Authorities, ALMOs and Housing Associations
including Energy Efficiency and Sustainability, as
well as Heads of Housing and Maintenance. These
contact details will be found in one place for ease
of reference for sales or marketing purposes.
-
An
'Off Grid' Map
and set of reports showing you, by Local Authority
area, the number of homes without mains gas
supply. These also include the location and
quantity of stock owned by social housing landlords
in each of these areas. This will allow you to:
- Identify
geographical areas with the greatest potential for
alternative renewable heat products such as
Ground Source and Air Source Heat Pumps, Biomass Boilers
and Solar Thermal products, all of which are eligible
for Renewable Heat Incentive Premium Payments, as well
as for related products and services required in
areas that are without mains gas supply.
-
Identify and target social housing landlords holding
the most stock in any particular off-grid Local
Authority area.
- Quantify and target social housing landlords
holding the most stock in any particular off-grid Local
Authority area.
Furthermore, the maps and reports will also enable you
to identify the opportunities for similar work to
private dwellings, by Local Authority area.
Please note that the above steps can also be carried out
using the data we hold on 'hard to insulate' (solid
wall) properties.
-
A Solar
PV Sustainability Map indicating areas of the
country with the most sunshine hours, and therefore
more suited to this technology, together with
reports showing which social landlords have stock
located in these Local Authority areas. This
will allow you to:
- Identify which
areas, England-wide, offer the greatest opportunity for
FITs/Solar PV related products and services.
- Decide, for yourselves,
which of these areas to prioritise and to identify and
target social housing landlords holding the most stock
in these locations.
- Quantify which social
housing landlords hold the greatest cumulative amount of
stock across the total of priority Local Authority
areas, on a largest to smallest basis. Additionally,
Phase 2 will see an automated mailing list connected to
your target list of landlords.
