This paper discusses the approach and implementation strategy of the Green Homes/Green Mortgages (GH/GM) programme being developed by the H2020 funded project SMARTER Finance for Families. We analyse the potential of this project for making step-change in the mainstream market of housing construction for it to adopt consistent environmental friendly practices at a large scale and involving all the value chain and stakeholders involved. One key feature of the project being analysed is the task to align the Green Certification requirements of the programme to the institutional initiative of the European Commission’s Directorate for Environment of an environmental performance reporting framework: The Level(s) framework.
