The NEES Project
• Promotes products and services that improve the energy efficiency rating of domestic buildings
• These products primarily make use of renewable or recycled materials
• The services are based on natural processes, which originate and are normally accessible in the Northern Periphery region
• Conducting viability assessments for mainstream commercialisation

NEES FindingsBarriers• Knowledge transfer
• Organisational and business skills• Traditional craft and trade skills dispersal
• Technical issues• Planning and building regulations, standards• Lack of accreditation; SME support
• Logistics• Local materials supply market• Long supply chains• High cost of transport

NEES Recommendations
• Knowledge transfer• Regional knowledge exchange hubs• certifiable educational programmes
• Policy Changes• Emphasise sustainability in conjunction with
energy efficiency• Tax or Rate Relief
• Locally Sourced Materials• Develop supply of locally
sourced materials
