Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Carbon and Energy within the Construction Industry: Discussion

Ms Orla Coyle:

Yes, the acid rating that would be put on it in terms of BER. That is something we have considered. The SEAI has a monitoring and reporting system that we use for public sector bodies, under which they report all their energy consumption. We are developing that to bring it down to building level. We are starting to pilot it this year. We will be looking at it on a building level so that we will know the exact energy for each public sector building rather than as an entity. At the moment, we have some building-level data but much of it is at a sectoral or departmental level. We are seeking to develop it to track the operational performance at a building level.
