Standards to be set for Green Deal installers
THE ECA RECENTLY BROUGHT together industry and consumer experts from across the country to help establish standards for the forthcoming Green Deal. Paul Reeve, head of environment at the ECA, who chaired the meeting, was joined by representatives from organisations including the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC), the Energy Saving Trust, the Association for the Conservation of Energy, the Renewable Energy Association, Which? and the British Property Federation. All parties backed calls to make domestic and commercial
customers aware of standards they can expect from Green Deal installers and assessors. Reeve said: ‘We need to ensure credible standards are applied to installers and assessors if the Green Deal is to succeed. Reputable contractors need to take a lead. Customers deserve a cost-effective experience when they interact with the Green Deal, and they need the work to be carried out by people who are up to the job. Trade associations such as the ECA can put customers in touch with professionals who will carry out the work competently and ensure lasting energy performance.’
