Three Main Targets:

• Affordable Warmth Obligation
• Carbon Saving Communities - CSCo

7. ECO – Carbon Saving Element
Solid Wall Insulation
Non-standard cavity wall insulation
Where these measures are installed
suppliers can also score accompanying
measures such as loft, glazing, draught
proofing and district heating

8. ECO – Affordable Warmth Element
Measures that reduce the notional cost of
heating the property
Boiler repairs included
Not district heating (except new schemes)
Qualifying benefits apply
Private tenures only

9. CSCo
Will focus on low income households
and areas
£190m per annum to March 2015
Around 250,000 insulation measures
will be delivered by March 2015.

10. CSCo Areas
15% most deprived LSOAs from IMD
All homes eligible including social housing
Suppliers can deliver up to 20% in
neighbouring LSOAs

11. CSCo Rural
Eligible Rural Areas
15% of all CSCo activity (minimum) will be in rural
areas.
Two ways in which a household will be eligible;
A household is within a settlement <10,000 and is
in receipt of the qualifying benefits
A household is within or adjoining one of the
qualifying areas if that area falls within a
settlement of fewer that 10,000 inhabitants.

enforcement.
