Mr. Se?n Armstrong:

The nearly zero energy buildings is a front-loaded target. We have already pretty much achieved it. The retrofit of social housing is ongoing. As we pointed out, a significant number of local authority homes have already undergone a shallow retrofit and the remaining need to undergo a B2 retrofit. The figure at present is 2,400 units. This will need to be ramped up as we go forward but not by multiples. It will need to be ramped up by a certain percentage on what we are already doing. Targets in other areas would need to be addressed by other Departments. The embodied carbon targets are something we are working on in line with EU legislation. We will introduce legislation in line with the EU legislation for buildings greater 2000 m² from 1 January 2027.
