Orkney Islands Council, GB trials insulation robot as part of home energy improvement program

Orkney Islands Council, GB Home Insulation Robot Trial

In Progress

Council officials received Scottish Government funding to increase the use of underfloor insulation that reduces heat loss by up to 80%. Twenty privately owned homes in need of home energy improvements are visited by Q-Bot during the pilot. Q-Bot easily applies insulation under floors that can be difficult to apply by hand. This trial adds to a multi-year partnership with Warmworks that provides up to £14,000 in insulation services per applicant.
