Brighton and Hove City Council has been voted Green Champion of the Year for Local Authority Partnerships in the annual best practice awards run by independent environment group the Green Organisation.
The council has reduced carbon dioxide emissions in homes across the city by approximately 128 tonnes in the past year, working with its partner Climate Energy, which managed the project.
Deputy council leader Sue John accepted the award at the Houses of Parliament on behalf of the Brighton and Hove Energy Action Partnership.
She said: "In the past year more than 350 city households have benefited from energy-efficient improvements such as new central heating, energy-efficient boilers or insulation."
