CCS directors and staff were delighted to win the Small Project of the Year award in the South West Energy Efficiency and Retrofit awards on 25 May.
The Awards were set up to recognise work being carried out in the energy efficiency sector under the Green Deal scheme and the Energy Company Obligation Scheme. CCS nominated their Dodgson Close solar thermal project where existing homes with oil fired central heating were retrofitted with 2 panel solar thermal systems and new unvented hot water tanks and control systems.
CCS provided the client Stonewater with an assessment of various renewable energy options. Solar thermal was found to be the most appropriate for reasons of space and existing system infrastructure.

In the nomination Stonewater stated: ‘We and the residents are very pleased with the outcome and service received and feel the project has been a great success’. Dodgson Close residents Mr and Mrs Sewell added ‘We found the workmen to be very tidy, polite, and they always kept us informed. The system which has been installed has given us much better hot water and we have begun to notice the difference already’.
CCS Managing Director Danny Gladwyn said ‘Winning this award has been a great recognition of the integrated design and installation service offered by CCS across a wide range of renewable technologies. We also take great pride in ensuring our staff treat existing residents with care and consideration during retrofit work. We think the award shows how we really deliver on both technical skills and customer care’.
