Stroma provides…
RHI
We want to put our members and tradespeople in the best possible
position to tap into this potential new business.
We do this by offering MCS and CPS schemes for RHI qualifying
measures.
We’re always improving – biomass MCS scheme approved Jan 2015
(wind turbines coming soon).
Low cost routes to certification with all the benefits included…

RHI Recap
“A financial incentive encouraging the adoption of renewable technology in
homes & businesses to help the UK meet EU carbon reduction targets.”
Domestic RHI – financial support for eligible renewable heating system in a
single GB domestic property
The property can be on or off the gas grid
Set by DECC
Fixed income for every kilowatt hour of heat produced
Payments received for 7 years to heating system owner
Non-Domestic RHI – support for systems heating more than one dwelling
(including multiple flats in a single building)

The Big Challenge
Existing Domestic Buildings:
26 million homes
50% of homes aged 50+ years
20% over 100+ years
120,000 new homes built each year
Just 20,000 demolished
80%+ of homes in 2050 already been built
Will have to last 1,000 years at current clearance rate
37% fail Decent Homes Standard
7 million houses need to be refitted by 2020, which equates
to 1,700 homes a day, or one a minute.
Reduce our carbon by 80% by 2050

Domestic RHI in the Spring…
DECC released a new policy that comes into force in
Spring 2015
No Green Deal assessment for Registered Social Landlords
Introduction of “Eligible cooker stoves”
High temperature heat pumps introduced
MCS standards changed
Properties with multiple buildings – clarity about eligibility
Plus biomass changes due in Autumn 2015

Part of our 3 day Ecobuild CPD Programme Stroma Certification: Renewable Heat Incentive RHI
Before applying for RHI support, all applicants must:
Carry out a Green Deal Assessment Report
(GDAR) to identify cost-effective energy
efficiency measures for the property
Install loft insulation (to 250mm) and cavity wall
insulation where recommended by the GDAR
Where the GDAR shows the required loft and
cavity wall insulation is yet to be installed, an
updated Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)
is obtained following installation, as proof of
installation (or valid evidence is provided proving
why the installation was not feasible)

The RHI support will be paid on each kWh of renewable heat the installation generates, for
seven years. To work out how much heat is generated, a deeming calculation will be used
that estimates the property’s expected annual heat usage. Multiplying the deemed figure
by the technology’s tariff rate will determine the annual payments.
Example of payment calculation – for illustrative purposes only, not intended to be
representative
Estimated heat use: 15,000kWh
Chosen technology: Biomass
Tariff: 12.2p/kWh
Total annual RHI entitlement = tariff x kWh renewable heat: £1830
How the payments work
© Stroma Certification 2015 | Version 1.0 © Stroma Certification 2015 | Version 1.0 | Page 22
Part of our 3 day Ecobuild CPD Programme Stroma Certification: Renewable Heat Incentive RHI
The deeming calculation for biomass and heat pumps will be the estimated heat
use (in kWh) of a property after the installation of the required energy efficiency
measures.
Where an applicant already has these installed, the figure will be taken from the
Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) done as part of the Green Deal
Assessment.
Where the Assessment identifies that the measures still need to be put in place,
the figure will be taken from the updated EPC completed after their installation.
Self build applicants are not required to have a Green Deal Assessment,
the figures will be taken from the EPC required on completion of the property.

Worked example of payments for heat pumps – for illustrative purposes only
Total annual heating demand = 15,000kWh
Example 1: ASHP rated at 3* in the Heat Emitter Guide = SPF 2.7
Eligible heat demand = 15,000kWh x (1-1/2.7) = 9,444kWh
Total annual RHI payments = 9,444kWh x 7.3p/kWh = £689
Example 2: ASHP rated at 5* in the Heat Emitter Guide = SPF 3.4
Eligible heat demand = 15,000kWh x (1-1/3.4) = 10,588kWh
Total annual RHI payments = 10,588kWh x 7.3p/kWh = £773

Similar to a service contract
Allows installers to fit advanced meters to new heating system
View measured data over the internet
When purchasing a Metering and Monitoring Service Package:
DECC offers an additional £230 per year for heat pumps
DECC offers an additional £200 per year for biomass-only boilers (not pellet
stoves with back boilers)
Reimburses householder for cost of package over 7 years RHI payments
Stops if service contract is terminated within 7 years
Payments for Metering and Monitoring Service Packages
will be available on a first come, first served
basis to 2,500 applicants in the first year of
the scheme, across biomass and heat
pump systems.

RHI recipient gives meter readings to Ofgem
Ofgem calculates renewable heat generated and payment
Payments capped at the level of the estimated renewable heat usage from
the deeming calculation
Participants who have taken up a Metering and Monitoring Service
Package will need to notify Ofgem on a regular basis that the monitoring
system is still functional and in use to continue to qualify for the
additional payments.
The data collected by Metering and Monitoring Service Packages may be
required to be submitted to DECC, Ofgem or a nominated third party on
request, to inform DECCs understanding of in-situ performance of heat pumps
and biomass boilers.

Selected installations will have DECC’s own metering equipment fitted
so that the assumptions that are made about fuel bill savings and
renewable energy generation from installations can be checked.
Applicants need to agree on application to having metering
equipment fitted if the installation fitted is chosen as part of
DECC’s metering programme.
Being ‘meter-ready’

Part of our 3 day Ecobuild CPD Programme Stroma Certification: Renewable Heat Incentive RHI
Leaving sufficient space for heat meters to be fitted in defined
locations
Installing isolation valves to avoid the need to drain systems when
fitting heat meters
Leaving the pipework accessible (i.e. not boxed in) to enable meters
to be fitted
Providing information about the installation (this will help DECC to
select appropriate sites for RHI metering)
DECC do not intend to make the data that is collected available for householders
and installers to view in the same way as a Metering and Monitoring Service
Package does. DECC intend to publish anonymised
outputs once at least a year’s worth of data has
been collected, checked and analysed.

Good things about Stroma
IT’S EASY - Members usually find that getting registered
was less difficult than they feared
The Assessor is there to find evidence that you comply,
not to trip you up
Treat a “nonconformity” as something to improve,
a snagging list on the way to certification
