Housing: Insulation
(asked on 7th September 2017) - View Source
Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, how many homes were insulated under national and local government initiatives in each year for which figures are available.
The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy holds data on the number of insulation measures installed though central Government Schemes. This includes measures delivered through the Carbon Emission Reduction Target (CERT), Community Energy Saving Programme (CESP), Warm Front, Energy Company Obligation (ECO) and the Green Deal. This excludes insulation fitted to new homes. Figures are not held centrally on additional delivery through local government initiatives.
Figures for delivery of energy efficiency measures, including insulation, under Central Government schemes are published by the Department in regular Household Energy Efficiency National Statistics reports. Table 1.2 of the June 2017 headline report shows that between January 2013 and April 2017 almost 1,738,000 individual households had energy efficiency measures installed through ECO or under the Green Deal Framework. These figures include almost 696,000 heating measures but some of those households will also have received insulation measures. Prior to 2013 only the number of measures is available not the households treated.
