Over the past few years we have developed a range of websites and on-line resources for both professionals and the general public
ceo.decc.gov.uk/nationalheatmap
Launched in March 2012, the National Heat Map is a free and publicly accessible resource providing high-resolution maps of heat demand across England.
It aims to help local authorities, community groups and other users identify locations where heat distribution projects are most likely to make a difference – by cutting carbon emissions and reducing heating costs.

www.planlocal.org.uk
PlanLoCaL (‘Planning for Low Carbon Living') is a three-year programme devised by CSE and designed to encourage greater public engagement with the planning process.
www.planlocal.org.uk
At the heart of this large project, funded by the Department for Communities and Local Government, is the recognition that, for communities to identify, plan for, and implement the best low-carbon solutions for their local area, they need various strands of support.
PlanLoCaL is a suite of resources including films, a resource pack and this website. Together they to support communities and groups that are 'planning for low-carbon living'.
The website was designed by 375, and went live in February 2011.
www.100ideashouse.com
Making energy saving aspirational, the 100 Ideas House was one of CSE's most innovative and exciting projects.
www.100ideashouse.com
The 100 Ideas House is a life-size kitchen and living-room installation that shows how small energy-saving measures can be fitted into a normal and aspirational modern lifestyle. The website includes all the ideas, half of which were suggested by the public who visited the 100 Ideas House when it was on display in two Bristol shopping centres.
The project, including the accompanying website, was funded by Defra. Read the project profile here.
The website, which was designed by 375, went live in 2007 and is still on-line but not being updated.
www.planningrenewables.org.uk
A wealth of information and resources to aid the decision-making of planners and councillors when faced with large and small-scale renewable energy developments.
www.planningrenewables.org.uk
This site aims to provide the most up-to-date and useful information in relation to the development of renewable energy projects, and now covers all technologies from wind and biomass, through to solar power and waste-to-energy.
The website was developed by CSE and arose out of feedback from more than 1,000 attendees to an on-going series of workshops on renewable energy for councillors and planning officers.
Launched in 2009, it was funded by the DTI (now DECC) and built by Enigma Interactive.
www.bigenergychallenge.org
The website for Our Big Energy Challenge, a work-place energy saving campaign in Bath.
www.bigenergychallenge.org
This site was the public face of a successful £0.75m campaign to cut the energy use of Bath's public sector organisations by 10%. It features the popular and much-copied energy-awareness slideshow, plus some great photography by Marcus Ginns (marcusginnsphotography.co.uk). Read the project profile here.
The site was developed by CSE who provided all content, with funding by HM Treasury. It was designed by SteersMcGillan and built by Gravitywell.
Launched in 2006, the site is still on-line but no longer being updated.
www.londonheatmap.org.uk
Pinpointing areas of the capital suitable for community heating systems.
www.londonheatmap.org.uk
The London Heat Map is a publicly accessible on-line resource that identifies opportunities for decentralised energy projects in London by providing spatial intelligence on factors such as major energy consumers, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, energy supply plants, heat density etc.
Read the project profile here.
The website was funded by the Greater London Authority and went live in 2009.
www.southwestheatmap.co.uk
This region-wide GIS heat-demand map for the south west models heat demand down to the individual building scale, based on a range of datasets.
www.southwestheatmap.co.uk
The heat map provides local authorities and local project developers in the south west with a detailed understanding of existing heat demand in their areas. This enables them to scope meaningful opportunities to use low carbon and renewable heat technologies – avoiding the need for the individual commissioning of local heat demand assessments for their areas.
Commissioned by Regen SW and built in partnership with Geofutures.
www.fuelpovertyindicator.org.uk
Designed to help target fuel poverty programmes and inform research. Includes downloadable maps and data.
www.fuelpovertyindicator.org.uk
The Fuel Poverty Indicator combines data from three sources (the 2001 Census, the 2003 English House Condition Survey and the national property database, RESIDATA) to predict the incidence of fuel poverty in each electoral ward in England.
The on-line tool has been widely used by local authorites, energy utilities, health professionals and policy-makers. Read the project profile here.
It was developed by CSE in partnership with the University of Bristol and launched in 2003. The site was upgraded and redesigned in 2009.
www.energyefficiencywales.org.uk
A sister site to fuelpovertyindicator.org.uk (above) providing maps and data for Wales
www.energyefficiencywales.org.uk
A tool allowing researchers to search, find and download maps and data relating to the extent of 'hard to treat' properties in Wales. It also provides maps and data on take-up of Home Energy Efficiency Scheme (HEES) grants.
Website developed by the Centre for Sustainable Energy (2006) with funding from the Welsh Assembly Government.
www.ruralfuelpoverty.org.uk
The third of CSE's suite of fuel poverty indicator sites, this one focuses on rural fuel poverty particularly in relation to 'hard-to-treat' homes.
www.ruralfuelpoverty.org.uk
A tool allowing researchers to search, find and download maps and data that will help you quantify rural fuel poverty in your area, particularly its relationship to hard-to-treat (HTT) homes.
Website developed by the Centre for Sustainable Energy (2007) with funding from the EAGA Partnership Charitable Trust and the Energy Efficiency Partnership for Homes Insulation Group.
