To revert to the question regarding radiant heat, I read about a particular type of heater, called a radiant heater, that is being used in Europe. I am not an expert on this subject but I ask someone in SEAI about it because I thought we should be trying to get people to think differently about heating. However, the point that was made was that because energy is so expensive here, this type of heating, while it would be a good type of heating to which to transition, is not feasible at present. Is Dr. Ó Gallachóir familiar with this particular type of heater? Apparently they are much better to use, even from a health perspective. Has he come across them previously?
