The Energy Efficiency Retrofitting Services (EERS) sector has over the past five years undergone unprecedented change. Firstly, the introduction of the Green Deal saw the provision of national domestic energy efficiency measures placed in the hands of the private retrofit industry, which had previously been accustomed to government financial and administrative assistance. Then, secondly, when the implementation of the Green Deal failed, with limited uptake and unattractive finance arrangements, the EERS sector, was left without any policy provision to enable increased levels of retrofit.
