As part of a national programme for the "greening" of the social housing stock, a range of energy efficiency initiatives are being advanced, including a programme of Towards Carbon Neutral demonstration projects, insulation retrofitting projects that will inform future schemes, and a programme to improve the energy rating of dwellings due to be re-let and to advance overall energy efficiency in local authority apartment complexes. The funding to be made available for these purposes will be finalised following the publication of the Revised Estimates for Public Services 2009.
