What is the Green Deal?
The Green Deal is the UK Government's flagship policy on energy efficiency within buildings... The UK needs to become more energy efficient in order to reduce emissions affecting the climate change. The Green Deal policy, under the Energy Act 2011, aims to retrofit 14 million homes and businesses by 2020. This equates to a reduction of CO2 emissions in housing by 29% and 13% in workplaces.
The Green Deal will allow householders and businesses to make energy efficiency improvements to their properties at no upfront cost. The Green Deal will revolutionise the energy efficiency of the UK’s existing dwellings and will create approximately 65,000 new jobs in disciplines where training will be required. This represents the largest opportunity for installers since the Second World War.

The Green Deal will encourage business and home owners to employ more green technologies in their properties. The idea is simple; install new green technology into your property with no up front costs. You will pay back the costs through your energy bill over a period of time. This is unlike a conventional loan because if you move out of the property, the bill stays with the property where the savings are occurring and not with the bill payer.

When was the Green Deal Launched?
The Green Deal was officially 'soft launched' in October 2012, with the introduction of a Government advertising campaign having commenced in February 2013. Since June 2012, installers and assessors have already acted as 'early adoptors' to The Green Deal and have taken the necessary training already.
