Green Deal Property Assessment

One of the prerequisites for a Green Deal plan will be for the consumer to have a property assessment by an accredited adviser. We are working with industry and accreditation bodies to ensure the assessment is robust, delivered to agreed standards by qualified advisers and backed up quality assurance and compliance mechanisms. The adviser would visit to assess the energy performance of the property and advise on the relevant opportunities for energy efficiency improvements. They might also make recommendations on energy-saving behaviour. For households, there already exists a strong base for such an assessment through the EPC, which we are currently reviewing, and we will look at how an improved EPC might be used to support the Green Deal. We are also reviewing options for an assessment of commercial buildings, including the corresponding EPC. Source DECC
