  5. Purpose of business case • Challenge: environmental outcomes not commensurable with other outcomese.g. financial return, number of homes. • DECC research on EPC ratings: up to 14% impact on value (June 2013) • Policy objective: capture externalities in financial return, without undue complexity. • “Investment decision” then “finance decision”. • In perfect market, finance-providers rational, meeting their needs shouldn’t affect investment decision. • Government intervention – driven by policy not financial return – makes things complicated. • Complex government interventions – even if essential and well thought through – make it more difficult to analyse choices, to build credibility and to instil confidence in delivery.

  6. Investment choices • Retrofit of existing homes / Environmental spec of new homes • Insulation (loft / cavity / solid-wall) • Boilers, renewable heat • Windows • Micro-generation – photo-voltaic, wind, solar heating … CHP … vs. • Other repairs spend on existing homes vs. • Community investment vs. • New homes Other sectors will have their equivalents.
