The document discusses the skills needed by installers to work under the UK's Green Deal program, which aims to retrofit homes to improve energy efficiency. It outlines the Green Deal Skills Alliance between sector skills councils and programs to develop competency frameworks, qualifications, and training to ensure installers have the proper skills for insulation and building fabric work. Standards like PAS 2030 will require installers to be certified and take responsibility for quality in order to participate in the Green Deal.
