The Green Revolution
•UK legal commitment to cut carbon emissions by 80%
•85% of existing homes will still be standing in 2050

Retrofit Market
FMB research commissioned from Oxford University
New market for construction SMEs - £3.5 billion to £6.5 billion per annum
But.........
• Absence of strong consumer demand
• Absence of a clear delivery plan
• Absence of knowledge and skills
![Page 5: The Green Deal for Small Firms](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54b8a29d4a79590e6f8b458d/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

The Green Deal – Customer Journey
•ADVICE – All households/smaller businesses entitled to an energy assessment from a qualified assessor. An enhanced EPC
•FINANCE – a finance mechanism that will enable the cost of installed energy efficiency measures to be paid back via the customer’s energy bill
![Page 6: The Green Deal for Small Firms](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54b8a29d4a79590e6f8b458d/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The voice of construction SMEs
The Green Deal – Customer Journey
• INSTALLATION – only accredited installers allowed to install measures. Designed to give consumer confidence
•REPAYMENTS – a charge will be added to the energy meter at the property. Repayment obligation will stay with the property and will transfer to any new occupier

Green Deal Concerns
•Householders won’t find it sufficiently attractive
•Australian experience – need for accredited builders
•High street retailers/energy companies dominating the market
•Only Green Deal Providers will have direct link with the client

Involving Small Firms: Skills
• Existing skills approach is ‘trade based ‘and not ‘outcome based’
• Numerous skill and industry organisations
• No comprehensive, coherent system of qualifications
• No train the trainers system in place
• Lack of available investment funds
• No accreditation of builders !!

So to conclude ...................
• Green Deal offers opportunities and threats to construction SMEs
• Incentives will be needed to create demand for Green Deal
• Training required in the whole construction sector
• Threat of more regulation – consequential building works
• FMB needs to reposition itself and take the lead in driving up standards
