The Green Deal – A real opportunity?

The Green Deal offers opportunities for both the Social Housing sector and Local Authorities to reduce carbon emissions. While the first Green Deals are timetabled to appear in Autumn 2012, there is still confusion surrounding how it will work.

• Timetable for policy and applications
• Should you be applying for funding or be looking into becoming a Green Deal provider?
• Next steps for the Green Deal

Who should apply:

• Chief executives
• Directors of finance
• Housing directors
• Heads of sustainability
• Carbon managers
• Building and facilities managers
