As part of the Project, WASP will provide training for two people from the local community to act as volunteer community energy advisors so that the benefits of the project will remain in the community after the project has ended. 

Any advisors need to complete a City & guilds Energy Awareness course. 

This 4-day course has 7 elements:-

1. Identify heating and hot water systems found in homes
2. Identify how temperatures are measured and controlled in homes and recommended guidelines for the best temperatures to suit the needs of the household
3. Advise on efficient and safe use of heating and hot water systems
4. Interpret gas and electricity Bills
5. Advice on how to record fuel use and work out costs
6. Information on various ways of paying for gas and electricity
7. Identify ways to improve energy efficiency in dwellings including grants available.
