East Dunbartonshire Council has initiated a public consultation on its proposed Local Heat and Energy Efficiency Strategy (LHEES) and Delivery Plan. The strategy aims to contribute to Scotland's statutory targets for reducing fuel poverty and achieving net zero emissions.

The LHEES encompasses both domestic and non-domestic properties and addresses the following key areas:

• Outlining the necessary changes in the building stock to meet national objectives, including tackling fuel poverty and achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions.

• Identifying "heat decarbonisation zones" and outlining strategies to reduce building emissions in each zone, as well as potential heat network zones.
