Our sustainability lead Emily, lives in a military house and struggles with not being allowed to 'eco' it!

So, Emily has invested in the planet by adding green energy sources to the rental house that she does own.

In 2021 Emily installed solar panels to reduce the carbon emissions of the property. Whilst it was a considerable investment, it has reduced the need for energy from the grid (and lowered electricity bills!) Hot water and heating come from an air source pump, and the well-insulated home stays toasty warm throughout the year.

A car charger has also been installed, so charging a car on a sunny day is a great investment in the planet!

In her military house, Emily has made small changes that make a difference in our quarters - green energy tariffs, thermal curtains, and draft excluders across external doors all help.

With the MOD's commitment to Net Zero perhaps we will start to see more green energy initiatives installed in our quarters....
