The Green Deal

The Green Deal is the government’s flagship policy for improving energy efficiency and reducing carbon emissions in existing buildings. The cost of installing energy efficiency measures (EEM) is repaid by instalments on the property’s energy bill.

Repayments on the installation of an energy efficiency measure must be less than expected savings on the energy bill. This is known as the Golden Rule.

Savings on Energy Bill – Cost of Repayments = Total Savings
(Must be positive to meet Golden Rule)

The assessment of a property for suitability for a Green Deal and the installation of an energy efficiency measure must be undertaken by a Green Deal certified organisation.
