Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Update on the Public Sector Climate Action Mandate: Discussion
11:00 am
Mr. David O'Brien:
What we hope to capture are data relating to retrofitting works and the embodied carbon associated with those works. I cannot speak about the property portfolio overall but what the Cathaoirleach referred to will form part of the decision-making on an individual body's carbon footprint for sure. In the private sector, this is happening. We see buildings being repurposed, deep retrofits and buildings that might previously have been levelled being kept. Certainly, the concrete frames and structures are being retained in many cases.
