  "text": "(1) The green deal provider must estimate the savings on energy bills that are likely to be made in the 12 months after the improvements are installed (the “estimated first year savings”) on the basis specified in paragraphs to (4).\n(2) The green deal provider must estimate, in respect of each improvement, the savings on energy bills that are likely to be made in the 12 months after that improvement is installed—\n(a) taking into account the structure and fixtures of the property at the time the estimate is made; and\n(b) on the assumptions that—\n(i) all of the improvements will be installed at the same time; and\n(ii) after the improvements are installed the property will be used as specified in paragraph (3).\n(3) The use of the property referred to in paragraph (2)(b)(ii) is that—\n(a) for a domestic property, its use will be in accordance with the assumed use of domestic properties in the Government’s Standard Assessment Procedure for energy rating of dwellings (2009 Edition, as amended in October 2010);\n(b) for a non-domestic property—\n(i) which is occupied at the time the estimate is made, its use will be the use for which it is occupied;\n(ii) which is not occupied at the time the estimate is made, its use will be the use which the improver informs the green deal provider will apply after the improvements are installed.\n(4) The estimated first year savings are the sum of the savings for each improvement estimated under paragraph (2).\n(5) The estimate made under paragraph (2) is, in relation to an improvement, the “improvement-specific first year savings”.",
