Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Supporting a Just Transition: Discussion

Mr. Jim Scheer:

There are Government national targets for the 500,000 to a B2 or cost-optimal level. As far as drilling those numbers down regionally, I do not have those numbers to hand but they can be estimated. The SEAI launched a building energy rating map recently that shows at small area level, that is, groups of 50 to 100 homes around the country, the distribution of the building energy ratings from A to G for each of the small area codes. That could be used to build up a picture of the quality of the building stock by region. We could provide that to the committee if we are specifically requested to do so. We also have details of where the grants are being drawn down by county, and they are available.
