Green Deal
advisors in Carshalton Surrey
The Green Deal is a revolution in
the UK energy sector, the Green Deal is the flagship government
initiative created to increase the energy efficiency of British
properties in the public and private sector, and at no up front cost
to the property owner.
Why is the
Green Deal needed?
At a local
level, the Green Deal will enable many households and businesses to
improve the energy efficiency of their properties so less energy is
consumed and less money is wasted at no up front cost for the
property owner. The property owners will be able to pay off the
installation costs using the money saved from their reduced fuels bills.
Suitability for
the scheme will be assessed on a simple calculation, known as the
“Green Deal Golden Rule” - the predicted savings from the
energy efficiency improvements must equal or exceed the cost of installation.
At a national
level, the UK needs to become more energy efficient to reduce its
greenhouse gas emissions, which risk dangerous climate change. The
Climate Change Act 2008 legislated for a reduction in our carbon
emissions and set legally-binding carbon budgets across all sectors
of the UK economy — including our homes and communities, and our workplaces. |
