This guidance has been produced by Dr Freya Wise, Centre for Advanced Built Environment Research (CABER), University of the West of England, in collaboration with Action with Communities in Cumbria (ACT).

This guide will help you to think through whether a battery is right for your hall, the implications for your hall’s energy use and costs, and design and management strategies to make a battery most effective and efficient for you and your carbon footprint.

Ten key points are summarised; there are three checklists on what to think about before you get a battery and what your battery professional should do and a roadmap of the process is also provided.
