This document discusses the UK housing stock and potential for energy efficiency improvements through the Green Deal program. It provides statistics on the number of homes that could benefit from loft insulation, cavity wall insulation, and solid wall insulation upgrades. It also summarizes two models under consideration by the Association of Greater Manchester Authorities to participate in Green Deal as either a marketer or direct provider of Green Deal financing. Recent announcements from the Department of Energy and Climate Change regarding Green Deal training, certification requirements, and eligible measures are also outlined.
