Newark Retrofit Households Achieve Energy reduction of 78.6%

 Two houses in Newark that were retrofitted with renewable technologies and energy saving features in 2010 have achieved energy use reductions of more than 75%. One of the two homes has the same tenants who were living in it before it was retrofitted. In the last 12 months they have used 78.6% less energy than they did before the work was done. This equates to a 57.9% reduction in carbon emissions.
