One of the methods in moving towards a carbon zero 2050 adopted by the current UK government has been to create energy-saving schemes for households and businesses, such as the Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS).

What is ESOS?

The ESOS is a mandatory energy assessment scheme for large organisations in the UK. It was introduced as a part of the government’s response to Article 8 of the EU Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) – a common framework of measures for increasing energy efficiency within the European Union back in 2012. 

Everyone wants to make their home a little bit more eco-friendly, but it can be overwhelming knowing where to start. There are various government grants and schemes to help get more homes moving towards a carbon neutral position. However, whether you go for the government’s Green Homes Grant or perhaps simply retrofit cavity wall insulation, understanding where and from what your property can benefit the most is crucial.
