Useful tools for community groups

CSE’s extensive range of event resources and eye-catching models are available for you to hire for your own community events. We’ve produced a guide showing what’s available and how to book.

One of our most popular resources is our set of insulation models (below) showing interior solid wall insulation (left), cavity wall insulation (centre), and exterior wall insulation (right).

In addition, we have produced materials which are free to download, distribute, copy and adapt:

Our favourite guides and tools for community energy can be downloaded from The Source. This is a CSE website that we launched in June 2012 and which contains material produced by us, by our friends, and even by our competitors. We reckon The Source is the best place to find the most useful stuff for community energy projects.

It's also worth checking out our series of advice leaflets covering many different aspects of domestic energy.

Good luck with your community energy project!
