Green candidate Sian Berry has promised to provide free insulation for all homes should she be elected mayor on 1 May.
The plans aim to cut carbon emissions from London homes.
She said the scheme was based on one tried by the Green Party in Kirklees.
But the plans could also become a reality should Ken Livingstone be re-elected as he has promised Ms Berry a job if he wins.
Addressing the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors, Ms Berry said: "Half London's emissions come from poorly insulated homes. We will insulate one street at a time rather than one home at a time and that will hugely speed up the process."
