The document states the government must overcome the \u201chassle\u201d factor and consider the journey a customer undertakes when buying, improving or renting a property to ensure they engage them in improving the efficiency of their homes.<\/p>\n<p>The document states: \u201cAchieving household energy efficiency refurbishments at scale will be impossible without the buy-in from, and direct engagement with, the public.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis means that to be successful, a future policy framework must have consumers at its heart, encouraging them to value and pursue energy efficient homes through consistent and effective incentives and an appropriate regulatory framework.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIndustry can then invest against this policy and regulatory framework to create a market for energy efficiency measures.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The paper warned that difficulties facing the sector, which has seen numerous schemes cut or scaled back, means the government needs to be more proactive than ever.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFollowing the recent announcements and the uncertainty they have created, it is vital that government takes this opportunity to put in place a holistic policy framework, with cross-party support, and clear ambitions to retrofit the UK\u2019s housing stock that out-live political cycles,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cImportantly, this framework should reflect the lessons learned from previous efforts to drive forward a sustainable energy efficiency market.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The report follows two earlier papers published in September and November last year. &#8216;<span><a href=\"http:\/\/news.cbi.org.uk\/news\/the-future-of-the-energy-company-obligation-eco5\/the-future-of-the-energy-company-obligation-eco\/\" target=\"_blank\">The future of the Energy Company Obligation (ECO)<\/a><\/span>&#8216; outlines details on the plans for a successor to the Energy Company Obligation, which is set to end in March 2017.<\/p>\n<p>The second briefing, &#8216;<span><a href=\"http:\/\/news.cbi.org.uk\/news\/consumer-demand-the-key-to-a-sustainable-energy-efficiency-market\/consumer-demand-the-key-to-a-sustainable-energy-efficiency-market\/\" target=\"_blank\">Consumer demand: the key to a sustainable energy efficiency market<\/a><\/span>&#8216;, focuses on targeted incentives and regulations that support and encourage householders to invest in energy efficiency improvements. It highlights the belief a strong domestic energy efficiency market should be driven by consumers actively wanting to install efficiency improvements.<\/p>\n<p>CBI\u2019s business environment director Rhian Kelly said: \u201cThe electricity and gas we use in our homes accounts for over a quarter of our total energy consumption.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIncreasing the efficiency of the houses we all live in is therefore a crucial part of a long-term policy to reduce consumer bills and bring down our carbon emissions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut we need a clear policy framework to support businesses and homeowners to take effective action.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cChanges to policy over the last year, including cuts to the Green Deal and the removal of zero-carbon homes standards, have had a big effect.
