Energy and housing
Collectively, buildings in Solihull are the largest source of emissions in the borough accounting for 49% of total emissions according to the latest figures from 2022, with domestic buildings responsible for 24% of the total. Like the rest of the UK, Solihull faces a significant challenge to transform our housing and make it more energy efficient. The Council recognises this and is supporting residents to upgrade or 'retrofit' their homes. Discover how you can make sustainable choices in your own home below.
