C.E.R.T. FUNDING FOR EWI PROJECTS AVAILABLE VIA WBS
The Carbon Emissions Reduction
Target (CERT) came into effect
in April 2008. This scheme makes it obligatory for every
UK energy company to take the necessary steps to ensure
that the amount of CO2 emissions from domestic properties
is reduced.
The programme is currently in effect for three years, with
the target of making an annual net saving of 4.2 million
tonnes of CO2 by the end of March 2011, doubling the level
of activity of its predecessor the Energy Efficiency Commitment
(EEC).
How does CERT work? Electricity and gas suppliers are
now obliged to promote and offer funding towards measures
that improve energy efficiency in the home. Up until recently,
loft and cavity wall insulation have dominated this area,
however EXTERNAL WALL
INSULATION SYSTEMS are now
considered to be the next main area of focus due to the
unsurpassable energy saving benefits that they can offer.

The key thing to note here is that
you can apply for grants and offers from any energy
company, regardless of whether they supply your
gas and electricity. This could help reduce the amount of
energy you use, reducing your CO2 emissions as well as helping
to save money on your energy bills too.
If you represent a Local Authority,
Housing Association or Private
Social Landlord and you intend to use an Insulated
Render System on your project, we now have
the
ability to gain direct access to CERT Funding on
your behalf.
Certain qualifying criteria must naturally be met,
however our application process is
very simple and straight forward and a decision
can often be made within a few
days of your application.
