Implementation of Each Home Counts is being led by industry with the support of Government, in line with the recommendations of the review.</p><p>One of the main recommendations from the Review was to establish a quality mark for retrofit energy efficiency and renewable energy measures including cavity wall insulation, to help offer a clear and consistent standard for consumers.
