Energy Slashed on Old Building - FoE slashes energy costs at ‘The Warehouse’ — come and see how it’s done Posted: 21 Mar 2012 09:06 AM PDT Birmingham Friends of the Earth have been practicing what they preach by cutting the fuel used to heat their 19th century former warehouse building in Digbeth. The public are invited along on the 30th and 31st March to see how this is being achieved, using thick insulation on the walls, part of a demonstration paid for by the Department of Energy and Climate Change's LEAF fund.
