Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Energy Efficient Housing: Discussion
Mr. Seán Armstrong:
We set the performance requirements. Typically in most new houses, and in private sector housing, we see that the designers and developers choose to install a heat pump or gas boiler with photovoltaic as the main heating system. That will meet the heating needs of the dwelling. There was also a question about UK heat pumps and maintenance.
