The Warmburgh Unit (formerly called the HECA Unit) was set up by LEEP (now Changeworks) to help promote and implement the Warmburgh Plan. The Unit was established in 1999 and includes the Affordable Warmth Strategy Team, which was established in 2002.
The Warmburgh Unit supports the City of Edinburgh Council in meeting the energy efficiency targets included in the Warmburgh Plan (1997), the Council's Home Energy Conservation Act (HECA) strategy. It also provides support with co-ordinating, monitoring and delivering aspects of ’An Affordable Warmth Strategy for Edinburgh (2001)’.
The Warmburgh Unit is based within Changeworks’ Sustainable Futures Team and works closely with the Council’s Services for Communities.
