The full launch of Green Deal is near the corner and is rapidly approaching, hence the Department for Energy and Climate Change also known as DECC made an announcement, regarding the list of eligible measures.
The list which initially contained 30 measures now has 45, so much for bureaucracy, so DEEC, after extensive consultation, included them in the scheme. You may take a closer look at the full document here .
In January of 2013 we are expecting the publication of the final draft of the PAS 2030 specification, regarding the installation process, the process management and service provision. Let's take a closer look:
Energy efficiency measures covered in PAS 2030:2012
- Condensing boilers, natural gas-fired and liquefied petroleum gas-fired (domestic and non-domestic)
- Condensing boilers, oil-fired (domestic and non-domestic)
- Heating controls
- Under-floor heating
- Flue-gas recovery devices
- Gas-fired warm-air heating systems (domestic and non-domestic)
- Electric storage heaters (domestic and non-domestic)
- Cavity wall insulation
- Loft insulation
- Pitched roof insulation
- Flat roof insulation
- Internal wall insulation
- External wall insulation
- Hybrid wall insulation
- Draught proofing
- Floor insulation
- Heating system insulation (pipes and cylinders)
- Energy efficient glazing and doors
- Lighting fittings
- Lighting controls (non-domestic)
- Ground and air source heat pumps
- Solar thermal
- Solar PV
- Biomass boilers
- Micro-combined heat and power (CHP)
- Micro- and small-scale wind turbine systems
Quoting from the document, these are the new measures which are to be eligible in the future, under the Green Deal :
- Chillers
- Duct Insulation
- HVAC Controls
- Hot Water Showers
- Hot Water Systems
- Hot Water Taps
- Roof Lights, Lamps and Luminaires
- Radiant Heating
- Sealing improvements
- Solar blinds, shutters and shading devices
- Transpired Solar Collectors
- Variable speed drives for fans and pumps
- Water Source Heat Pumps
When the National Solar Centre was launched recently, as I covered it in a previous post on my blog,the Energy and Climate Change Minister, Mr. Greg Barker asked the solar industry leaders to operate outside its silo and, let me quote, "use the Green deal to market solar PV as an energy saving option”.
The Green Deal is the most important policy of the United Kingdom's coalition government and it will be supported in the near future with great aplomb, with the new Green Deal cashback scheme, a 2.9 million pounds marketing budget and the full attention of the UK's Prime Minister, Mr. Cameron.
Of course, there are critics and skeptics of the Green Deal project, they are doubting that the scheme will persuade the general public to engage with energy efficiency.
