The Existing Homes Alliance aims to bring a practical focus to the need for an ambitious programme of low carbon refurbishment across the UK’s housing stock, in line with the UK's need to cut carbon emissions by 80% by 2050
Launched on 1 April 2006, BERRs Low Carbon Buildings Programme Phase 1 will run over four years and replaces the previous DTI Clear Skies and Solar PV grant programmes. Open to householders, public, not for profit and commercial organisations across the UK (except the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man), the programme will demonstrate how energy efficiency and microgeneration can work hand in hand to create low carbon buildings.
