Established in December 1993 the Environment Centre (tEC) is an independent charity which aims to reduce carbon emissions, encourage sustainability, improve air quality and help people keep warm and well in their homes. In order to achieve our aims we provide advice, deliver outreach and training, carry out data analysis and mapping, and manage practical projects. We support others to take action including voluntary groups, charities, schools, businesses, and local government. We have worked on a diverse range of local, national and European projects from fuel poverty, air quality and waste minimisation to best practice in behaviour change, sustainable construction and peak energy demand reduction. We are the trusted local centre for information and support for home energy efficiency.
