New homes warm, Greener Homes Strategy also proposes a restructuring of the energy certificates to help people understand how to make their homes more energy efficient. Home-owners will even be able to reinvent "virtual green makeover" on their online properties before taking action.
The Government will also consult to establish minimum energy efficiency standards for buildings leased to tenants to help pay the bills left high energy in the air currents, the houses where the owners have no incentive to improve inefficient.

The eco-loan scheme was tested in 5,000 homes in London, Birmingham, Sunderland and Stroud and will be deployed throughout the United Kingdom from 2012.
