Hanover Centre,
The Hanover Centre Carbon Reduction, Awareness and Community Engagement (RACE) project, is a partnership of Hanover Community Association, the University of Brighton and Hanover10:10. This Aims to raise the awareness of energy/carbon cost and trends, and identify prioritised costed practical carbon reduction measures. Our Approach is to make links with the wider community, and residents’ housing, on the practical moves to reduce energy use and associated CO2 emissions. The Key Objectives are to reduce the use, and waste of, energy and water; enhance the comfort of Users; improve the long-term integrity of the building; and demonstrate to Users and local residents what carbon reduction can be achieved with insulation and energy reduction measures.
