Maximising Energy Efficiency Forum

The Maximising Energy Efficiency Forum, a Green Deal advisory forum, promotes energy efficiency improvements across different building tenures.

Role of the group

The Green Deal is designed to help householders and businesses increase the energy efficiency of properties across the UK.

The Maximising Energy Efficiency Forum suggests ways of increasing the uptake of the Green Deal across a range of property tenures, types and geographic locations.

The aim of this group is to advise the government on unlocking untapped potential within the UK’s building stock. This involves freehold, leasehold, commercial and both private and socially rented properties.

The group’s focus is:

assisting with the mapping of existing energy efficiency and potential
sharing good practice on encouraging uptake of the Deal
identifying options (and overcoming barriers) for increasing the coverage of Green Deal measures across tenancy, property type and location
advising government on our emerging legislative framework in this area
updating group members on the development of the wider Green Deal
