Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Implementation of the New National Retrofit Plan: Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland

Dr. Ciaran Byrne:

I will have to come back to the Senator on that question in respect of the average because it is such a variable. There are two parts here. One is saving on the energy and reducing the emissions but one is also transforming one’s home. This is part of the journey we are trying to get across to people. It is certainly about money but is also about the home that they want to live in. The examples in some of the results we have seen in the warmth and well-being scheme survey show that it is a much healthier, warmer and drier place, as a home, to live in. We have some quality standards, QS, information on some of the averages but it is very much dependent on people’s usage over the course of a year.
