Questions from "Chapter 11: Setting the ECO and target metrics" of the Green Deal Consultation are given below. If you have any comments on these questions please post them here.

56. Do you agree that targets of 0.52 million tonnes of CO2 per year saved, and £3.4 billion reduction in notional lifetime costs of heating by March 2015 represents the correct balance between ensuring high levels of delivery and minimising costs that could potentially be passed through to consumers?
57. Do you agree with the estimated costing of this scale of ECO at £1.3bn p.a. as set out in the Impact Assessment? Do you have additional evidence on the costs and benefits of the proposed targets for consideration in further analysis?
58. The division of the overall ECO between energy companies could be based on share of customer accounts, or sales volume. Do you have a preference as to which metric should be preferred, taking into account possible impacts on distributional equity? Please provide evidence for your views.
59. We propose that savings calculated through the SAP-based Green Deal Assessment methodology be used as the basis for ECO targets and scoring. Can you envisage any undesirable or inadvertent effects, that this approach might result in? If so, please provide details and evidence.
60. Should targets and scores for the Carbon obligation and/or the Affordable Warmth obligation be expressed on the basis of the annualised savings of measures or the lifetime savings?
