When the SEAI is looking at different buildings, the energy demand and the potential for energy reductions, does it ever take into account nature-based solutions such as green buildings? I refer, for example, to having a grass roof or even vegetation on one wall. This has been proven to reduce energy demand by up to 60% in some instances. Is that something the SEAI looks at or is it purely technological engineering solutions?
