We've set out the key pillars we see as essential to designing the next generation of warm home schemes, delivered locally through area based partnerships, centred around the consumer experience, targeting health and social outcomes. es.catapult.org.uk/report/heati...
Heating up: Towards a new generation of warm home schemes
The next ECO scheme should focus on consumers’ needs, be delivered through area-based partnerships, and have a specific focus on health and social outcomes.
