The National Home Improvement Council (NHIC) has called for mortgage restrictions on homes that are not energy efficient, energyhelpline.com reports.
According to the association, Britons who are forced to promise to improve their efficiency before being offered a mortgage would be more inclined to make adjustments to their energy use.
Further to this, the NHIC suggested that such a move would lead to mortgage holders switching to more energy efficient tariffs.
Andrew Leech, director of the NHIC, claimed that these restrictions may soon be introduced, as politicians become increasingly environmentally conscious.
He told the website: "Energy efficiency means covering everything from loft insulation to cavity wall insulation and new boilers, and generally upgrading windows and doors."
The government recently launched a new £17 million scheme to trial different low-carbon housing technologies in projects across the UK.
It is hoped that the initiative would help to make homes more energy-efficient and produce fewer CO2 emissions.
