Green Deal
Where it all started….. Grant Shapps at BRE in 2009
10 May 2011
Green Deal
What he said…
Imagine if you could walk into your favourite store, buy some clothes or do your
weekly shop...and then at the checkout, as you hand over your Clubcard; the
cashier offers you the prospect of permanently lower utility bills.
There's nothing to pay, now or even later.
Your home will be retrofitted and all you'll notice is that it costs you less to heat
and power it.
Now, unless you literally enjoy burning money, you're gonna love the Green
Deal…all you'll see is lower bills... with zero upfront cost.
Grant Shapps: We will green up to 25 million homes:Thursday 26th November 2009 at BRE

Green Deal
Progress to date…
– 14 March 2011: Call for evidence launched
– February 2011: The Green Deal proposal has passed through House of Lords Committee.
– December 2010: Marland / Stunnell consultation
– 8 December 2010: Energy Bill introduced to Parliament.
– December 2010: First meetings of Industry stakeholder forums
– 2 November 2010: Chris Huhne, announces measures to improve the energy efficiency of
the private rented sector with Green Deal.
– 21 September 2010: Chris Huhne announces that “were all 26 million households to take
up the Green Deal over the next 20 years, employment in the sector would rise from its
current level of 27,000 to something approaching 250,000”
– 25 May 2010: The Queen’s speech announced the “Implementation of a “Green deal” to
deliver energy efficiency to homes and business.
– 20 May 2010: Coalition commitment stated the Government’s intention that “through our
‘Green Deal’, we will encourage home energy efficiency improvements paid for by savings
from energy bills.
10 May 2011
Green Deal
So what is the Green Deal?
– Access to finance
– No upfront cost
– Pay as you save – the Golden Rule
– Repayment via energy bill
– Charge linked to property meter, not the occupant
– A route to market for improvement measures
– Enabling commercial market
– Applicable to dwellings and non-dwellings, owners and renters
– Subject to legislation
– Energy Bill
– Focus on consumer protection
– Possibility of mandatory standards for private rented dwellings
10 May 2011
Green Deal
It is not…
– A grant scheme
– Measures must pay for themselves on commercial terms
– Based on energy savings, not FIT or RHI incentives
– Market-based interest rates
– Consumers are making a spending decision
– Green Deal charge potentially affects future owners /
occupiers
– But does need to work with ECO
– Energy Company Obligation is the new CERT
– ECO for vulnerable and low income households
– Priority may be improved comfort rather than lower bills
– Possibility of ECO support for able to pay
10 May 2011

The Challenge…
– Green Deal is for dwellings and non-dwellings, the latter will come later
– Green Deal is a financial product with associated risk and liability
– The scope remains subject to change
– Involves a co-ordinated delivery by Providers, installers, energy
companies and finance
– Green Deal will be market driven, it must have:
– Consumer confidence
– Consumer take up
– Market promotion
– Green Deal success and the size of the market will depend on this!

May at Dept Business Innovation and
Skills (BIS)
10 May 2011
Green Deal
10 May 2011
New BRE Schemes – Accredited Construction Details (ACD)
Green Deal
– As more stringent government legislation and energy awareness lead to
increased insulation levels in the fabric of buildings, heat losses due to thermal
bridging at junctions between the plane building elements has become
increasingly important.
– This is reflected in the current Approved Documents L 2010 where, with regard
to junction details, the regulation requires that the details either –
a) conform with Accredited Construction Details in which case the
appropriate Ψ-value can be used directly in, for example SAP
calculations.
or
b) where this is not the case, have their Ψ-value increased by 0.02
W/m·K or 25%, whichever is greater, before being used
36
10 May 2011
New BRE Schemes – Accredited Construction Details (ACD)
Green Deal
– DCLG intend there should be Accredited Construction Detail (ACD) schemes,
which will accredit and host bespoke ACD details for use by the industry
– BRE are developing an ACD Scheme which will be approved and begin
accrediting and hosting details by end of 2011
– In conjunction with ACD schemes, Accredited Thermal Modeller schemes
(ATM) are designed to accredit individuals who have appropriate expertise and
experience required to follow guidance given in BR497. BRE are developing
such a scheme which is expected to be in place by autumn 2011.
– BRE are currently providing Thermal Modelling Training courses and
assessment, successful candidates will receive the BRE/BTEC Thermal
Modelling qualification.
– For details on training visit: http://www.bre.co.uk/eventdetails.jsp?id=4961
37
New BRE Schemes - Passivhaus Certification Scheme

where the necessary heat can be supplied by fresh incoming air this requires;
• excellent levels of fabric insulation
• triple glazing
• thermally bridge free construction
• extremely good levels of air tightness
• efficient heat recovery ventilation system
38

HRH Prince of Wales Foundation – “The Natural House”
– Natural materials - the solid walls of the house are made from strong,
lightweight clay blocks that have high levels of thermal insulation, but lower
embodied energy than conventional bricks. The roof tiles are clay and floors
and windows made from FSC certified timber.
– Ease of manufacture - the simple construction minimises the need for
specialist training and maximises the speed of construction
– Versatility and adaptability - the house can be constructed in a range of
architectural forms including paired dwellings, squares and terraces. It can be
subdivided to form a family home, maisonette or smaller flat.

Photovoltaics (PV)
• If photovoltaics are present, look for the schematic which is usually
adjacent to the electricity meter. The schematic should state the peak
power (kWp) of the PV array.
• Record the following:
• kWp;
• estimate of pitch of the PVs (horizontal, 30°, 45°, 60°, vertical);
• if in doubt select 30°;
• if not horizontal, the orientation of the PVs (N, NE, E, SE, S, SW,W, NW);
• overshading of PVs (very little, modest, significant or heavy);
• if in doubt select modest.
• If the kWp cannot be ascertained, record the percentage of the total
roof area occupied by PVs. Here total roof area includes main dwelling
and all extensions where present.

Green Deal
Amend RdSAP so all possible recommendations are included on EPC even if no change to EPC rating
Amend RdSAP to take account of regional weather data
Provide pay back times for different measures
Include information about Green Deal and where householders find out more
Provide information about any Green Deal finance attached to property
Introduce subdivisions within bands A-G of energy efficiency rating
Indicate all measures that could be paid for through Green Deal
Quantify how much carbon losses translate to e.g. would need to plant XX trees to offset every tonne
of CO2 emitted and put this information under the CO2 graph
Amend RdSAP to take account of domestic appliances
Develop RdSAP to include more renewable options and whether PV, biofuel, external insulation,
community schemes etc. are suitable for property.
Reduce the number of default values during RdSAP assessment (e.g. assumed level of insulation)
Include facility for recommending top-up measures where some already installed, e.g. loft insulation
top up not recommended if already 150mm when adding more could make a big difference.
FITs and RHI not adequately represented on the EPC. Cost effectiveness needs to be emphasised
and taken account of in recommended measures
Amend RdSAP to include building orientation to capture impact of solar gains on heat demand
Include energy efficiency measures in the heat load assessment to ensure people don't waste energy
to gain money.
