Green Deal guide launched for business

A guide to the Green Deal has been launched by the Construction Products Association and the Energy Efficiency partnership for Homes to help the industry to understand the new legislation.

The publication is aimed at manufacturers, distributors, main contractors and installers, and provides a useful introduction for small, medium and large businesses looking to find out more.

While the documentation will not be used for legal compliance with the Green Deal, it can provide an invaluable introduction and understanding of the opportunities available for industry when it was introduced later this year.

Commenting on the publication, John Tebbit, Industry Affairs Director at the Construction Products Association said; “Although it is early days within the Green Deal, which is still under consultation, the framework is now established.

“So despite the fact that some working details may change, now is the time for those companies that are interested in the potential opportunities of Green Deal to begin to investigate how they should prepare and what they need to be aware of.

“This publication provides the introduction industry needs and will give companies a head start in their preparations.”

The Minister of State for Climate Change has also offered his support to the scheme, which offers a wide range of opportunities for the Industry.

He said: This document is in itself an example of how collaborative working can help companies prepare for the Green Deal.

“It highlights how many firms are already gearing up to enter this new market, as well as showcasing previous examples of the installation of energy efficiency measures.”
