The Green Deal allows energy firms to provide domesticand non-domestic customers with a range of property improvements which will increase energy efficiency and reduce heating costs.

The costs incurred by making these improvements is recouped through instalments on a property owner’s energy bill over a number of years. The Green Deal is not an advance payment or personal loan and therefore no obligation moves with the property owner should they move.

The "golden rule" of the Green Deal ensures that the predicted savings from making the energy improvementsmust equal or exceed the cost of the installation.

An assessment will be carried out on a homeowner’s property,with options of a range of relevant measures presented. Once all the details are confirmed, the installation will then take place and the customer will pay for the measure throughtheir energy bills. For more details on each area of the Green Deal Process, see overleaf, ‘Areas of the Green Deal’.

Energy Company Obligation (ECO)

The Energy Company Obligation offers funding for energy efficiency improvements in 3 main streams;

• The Carbon Saving Community Obligation (CSCO)• The Home Heating Cost Reduction Obligation (HHCRO)• The Carbon Emission Reduction Obligation (CERO)

Properties or families that meet the requirements within any of these streams are eligible for fully or partially funded energy efficiency improvements.

Nada Frayne - Eco Residential Ltd

“We at Eco-Residential would like to say thank you to Easy Green Deal for all the hard work and guidance in getting our organisation to become accredited as a Green Deal Advice Service.

The knowledge and experience from the Easy Green Deal team was invaluable through what would have been a very lengthy, difficult Green Deal Accreditation process. Our mentor in particular was critical in getting the job done in a timely, professional manner and gave sound practical advice about understanding the Green Deal audit process. We would not hesitate to recommend your services to another organisation considering Green Deal Certification”.

Philip Salaman - QUIDOS

“The Easy Green Deal QMS is a very comprehensive and robust solution. We have now completed audits on over 70% of potential GDAO’s using the Easy Green Deal QMS, and the results are consistently impressive. We audited a system in under two hours, the GDAO was well informed and as a result of Easy Green Deal has saved hundreds of hours in getting prepared to participate in the Green Deal.”

The Green Deal Installer will be an installation company/personwho will be suitably trained and competent in the measures tobe installed, and is responsible for the physical installation, set to work and, if requested by the Green Deal Provider, the commissioning of the system.

The Green Deal Installer must carry out a pre-installation survey on the property to ensure that the Green Deal Provider’s specifications can be met, and highlight any issues to the Green Deal Provider prior to the installation commencing. The Green Deal Installer must keep the customer informed of all processes and plans, and collate certain information that will need to be relayed back to the Green Deal Provider for them to review.

The Green Deal Installer will be certified by a Green Deal Certification Body against PAS 2030 (the standard to which they must operate), Green Deal Code of Practice and competency standards. Green Deal Installers are also able to carry out work under ECO

Functions of theGreen Deal & ECO There are a number of key functions that operatewithin the Green Deal & ECO which are outlined below


Green Deal Installer (GDI)

The Green Deal Advisory Organisation is the certified organisation responsible for facilitating Green Deal Advice Reports including lodgement. All Green Deal Advisors must be a member of a GDAO.

A Green Deal Advisory Organisation is an organisation that has been certified by a Green Deal Certification Body, to the Green Deal Advisory Service Standards. All Green Deal Advisors must be a member of an Advisory Organisation whether this is their own organisation or they are a member of another organisation.

The Green Deal Advisor will be a suitably trained and competent energy assessor, who will visit the property, carry out an EnergyAssessment and create an Energy Performance Certificate and Green Deal report. On the basis of that information the Advisor will then be able to suggest suitable Green Deal measures to be installed in the property to make it more energy efficient. The Green Deal Provider can then create a proposal to be passedto the Green Deal Installer.

Green Deal Advisory Organisation (GDAO)

The Green Deal Provider is the organisation that will provide thefinancing for the measures to be installed on the property. They will look to contract in the Green Deal Advisor to providethe Green Deal Assessment, and Green Deal Installer to carry out the installation.

They will design, organise and facilitate the installation toensure that the installation process runs smoothly from beginning to end. This includes being responsible for all paperwork that is completed by themselves, the Green Deal Advisor and the Installer.

Green Deal Provider (GDP)The Green Deal Certification Bodies are responsible for carrying out assessments on individual companies to ensure their ongoing compliance with PAS 2030, the Green Deal Code of Practice and Green Deal Advisory Organisation Standards (if relevant). The initial assessment will determine whether or not the company in question will be introduced to the Green Deal Register and if successful will be subject to ongoing surveillance visits. They answer directly to the Green Deal Oversight Organisation Body and assess companies looking to become Advisory Organisation or Installers.

Green Deal Certification Body

The Green Deal Oversight Registration Body is responsible for enforcing the PAS 2030 and for the general running of the Scheme, which includes the Consumer Code. The Green Deal Oversight Registration Body is Gemserv, in conjunction with REAL Assurance, who run the Consumer Code. The Green Deal Oversight Registration Body will liaise with the Green Deal Certification Bodies and are responsible for the whole scheme.

Green Deal Oversight Registration Body (GDORB)

The energy provider is responsible for distributing funding under the Energy Company Obligation. ECO funding is then allocated by either a Green Deal Provider or other funding outfit.
