by Shane Henson — February 22, 2013—MITIE, a global provider of facilities, property and energy management services, has been appointed by the National Landlords Association (NLA) as its exclusive Green Deal installer.
The NLA, an association for private residential landlords in the U.K., awarded the contract to MITIE as the government officially launched the Green Deal, a program developed by the U.K.’s Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) to support the introduction of energy efficiency measures to all buildings, says MITIE.
MITIE, which already manages more than 200,000 tenanted properties in the U.K., was chosen because it has the technical capabilities and national reach to assess and install the right measures for landlords across the country, says the company.
There are dozens of measures installers can implement in domestic dwellings, including loft insulation, double glazing, boiler replacements, central heating systems and solar panels, MITIE explains. The initial cost of installing these measures is funded by an approved Green Deal Provider and repaid through savings made on energy bills, up to a period of 25 years.
The DECC estimates that expenditure on Green Deal measures is likely to be worth up to £17 billion during the next 10 years.
