Review and recommend a strategy for the provision of energy saving advice to householders and communities
The Energy Efficiency Partnership for Homes (EEPH) Energy Advice Providers Group (EAPG) is seeking expressions of interest from contractors interested in developing a strategy for the provision of energy advice to householders and communities with buy-in from key stakeholders and government.
Energy advice is currently available to UK householders from a variety of networks and agencies which range from informal social networks, through installers of energy efficiency measures, to trained advisors and technical assessors. The aim of this project is to articulate what role energy advice should play in the effective delivery of the government’s 2050 target of an 80% reduction in carbon emissions and goal to eradicate fuel poverty.
Please note the deadline for responses is 12pm, 17th July 2009.
A review of the delivery tools used to improve hard-to-treat homes

The aim of this research exercise is to inform those responsible for delivering to government targets of the key routes to tackling HTT properties by providing a review all tools for effective delivery of measures, including how to tackle and improve pockets of hard-to-treat properties using community-based approaches. This will help to inform practitioners of how best to deliver their targets against typically ignored housing stock.
