Dr. Ciaran Byrne:
The number we have in our target is 500,000 homes. We have about 2 million homes in the total stock and just under 1 million homes in the BER database. As the Comptroller and Auditor General outlined, approximately 20% of homes are at the B2 level or higher. The average energy rating in the country is a C3 but that is changing because we are building new homes that are more energy efficient and we are retrofitting homes too. The stock is constantly moving up the BER grades but our target is 500,000 homes by 2030.
