Low Carbon West Oxford

The eco library project was integrated into the pilot household project so during the year's householders were able to borrow and test different lightbulbs.

New additions were made to the library including;

• Standby Buster – a remote controlled off switch,
• A single socket wattage and current meter.
• A gas energy saver, which is a hob top catalytic gas to energy converter
• A radiator booster which improves radiator convection current

You can borrow energy-saving devices to try out at home by joining our ‘Eco Library’.

Another idea we want to set up in the future is a way of facilitating person-to-person loans of low-use equipment via a ‘virtual shed’ on our web site such as share hedge trimmers, shredders, lawnmowers, bike trailers, photo printers etc.
