Understanding the Great British Insulation Scheme
The Great British Insulation Scheme (GBIS) is a government program in the UK designed to help people make their homes more energy-efficient. The main goal is to provide insulation for homes, which helps keep them warmer and reduces heating costs.
What is the qualifying criteria?
Your homes EPC report MUST be rated D-G.
Your homes Council Tax Band MUST be between A-D.
-
Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a report that shows how energy-efficient a home is. It gives the building a rating from A (very efficient) to G (not efficient).
Purpose: It helps you know how much energy the home uses and how much it might cost to heat and power it.
Recommendations: The EPC includes tips on how to make the home more energy-efficient, like adding insulation or upgrading the heating system.
So, an EPC is like a report card for a building’s energy use, helping you understand and improve its efficiency.
