Okay. I thank Mr. O'Mahony. We do not talk about windows enough when we discuss energy upgrades. Windows are where most of the heat in any home escapes. The U-value for a window in a typical older construction is about 2 W per sq. m Kelvin. Even the very best windows perform much more poorly than the best worst performing walls. Is there SEAI support for stripping out old windows and installing windows with a much lower U-value?
