Unison, the public service union, is calling for a national programme of energy efficiency measures to ensure that every UK domestic property complies with the Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) at Band C. This programme could be delivered universally to all householders on a door to door basis over a 15 year period. Firstly every UK home should be classified according to its Energy Performance Certificate via a national free door to door assessment programme, which identifies the remedial works required to meet the EPC band C. Low income households should receive the remedial works free at the point of delivery but capped at a maximum of £10,000. Those not classed as low income should be able to access an interest free loan repayable over a maximum time of 10 years.
