Dr. Byrne might give us some figures on that modelling afterwards, if he has them.

I was intrigued about the SEAI's move. Obviously the Office of Public Works, OPW, take its instructions from it about what it requires. Emissions from its previous building were 77,000 kg of CO2 and then 135,000 kg in 2020 in the new building. Why did SEAI make that move? Was this considered given that SEAI is the organisation that is supposed to show the way forward? What was the objective? What instructions did it give to OPW not only on the energy rating of the building but also its output and the size of the building required?
