The Occupancy Assessment will modify the output of the Green Deal EPC to reflect households' actual energy use and will provide information about the energy the household could save from installing energy efficiency improvements.

DECC open consultation on changes to the Building Regulations regime -  "In summary, this includes new requirements for additional ‘consequential’ energy efficiency improvements where work (such as an extension or replacement windows or boilers) is already planned to an existing building and Green Deal funding is available as an option to meet the up-front costs.   Given DCLG estimate there are 200,000 extensions per year, 1.4 million boilers replacements and 1 million window replacements, this could be a significant demand driver for the Green Deal."
