Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Housing and Retrofitting: Discussion

Ms Orla Coyle:

That is what I was going to say also. Through our deep retrofit pilot programme and the warmth and well-being scheme we have a number of research and development programmes ongoing with a number of institutes in Ireland. They are monitoring the air quality in the building before and after the deep retrofit. With the deep retrofit programme we require that mechanical ventilation is installed. We do pre and post pressure testing on the buildings. We also install mechanical ventilation associated with it to encourage fresh air in those spaces.
