Mr. Cormac O'Rourke:

The most important point with respect to passive standards is energy efficiency and there is no doubt but that the cohorts of the population qualifying for affordable housing are the most vulnerable to fuel poverty. From a social justice perspective, it is absolutely justifiable and desirable that we build to those passive standards. In the context of climate change, it also makes much sense from an economic perspective to build to passive standards now as the cost of retrofit is considerably greater than incorporating those passive standards ab initio. That is certainly the way I look at it and from conversations with Mr. Coleman and other members of the board, I know it is very much how we look at the matter.
