As a result of a survey carried out at the Dog Inn in Whittington, Staffordshire in December 2007 Marches Energy Agency is delighted to report that the Dog has taken up many of the recommendations and will be saving over £1000 a year in heating and lighting costs. 

MEA's project manager, Simon Ross said "its great to see that the Dog will be saving so much money as a result of the survey I carried out, it'll help boost the Pub's competitiveness and hopefully attraction to customers". 

This was just one of 120 such surveys carried out by Simon using, for the most part, his folding bike. 

Each home surveyed received a bespoke report, energy rating and Action Plan based upon an Energy Performance Certificate.  ‘There is enough in each report to help each householder make serious and meaningful changes to their lifestyle to reduce both their carbon emissions and their running costs' he said. 

The project was reported in on BBC Midlands Today -  watch clip
