Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Carbon Budgets: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Paul Lemass:
I thank the Senator for her question. I will bring in colleagues from the planning side in a moment but first I will signal that the main instrument we use to regulate emissions from buildings is the energy performance of buildings directive. The directive has been transposed into Irish law and it is a feature of building standards in Ireland. As the enforcement authority for buildings standards is a local authority, each local authority is responsible for buildings standards in its area.
