Can the Bonfield Review bring the industry in from the cold?

摘要

In August last year, the government commissioned BRE Group chief executive Peter Bonf ield to look into energy efficiency in UK homes. Expected in March, the report will focus solely on existing homes. Dr Bonf ield is concentrating on three main areas: the installation process of insulation and other thermal products; the standard of advice given to consumers during the design process and protection received post-installation; whether current compliance checks are sufficient. The review may highlight some of industry's worst problems, such as poor quality installations and compliance issues.
