Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Carbon and Energy within the Construction Industry: Discussion
Ms Orla Coyle:
On the output from the research project, it is due to be published in Q1 of next year. On the building regulations and the move to zero-emission buildings, a question was raised earlier about where Ireland stands. Ireland is at the forefront in Europe in our building regulations and the targets we have for new buildings. One can see from the building energy rating, BER, database that the majority of homes being built are using heat pumps or renewable technologies, and are highly energy efficient.
