Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

New Retrofitting Plan and the Built Environment: Discussion (Resumed)

Dr. Caroline Engel Purcell:

I understand the SEAI retrofit grants that are available require an agrément certificate. The issue is that insulations that are most appropriate for traditional buildings generally just have a CE mark. I will not go into the detail on how an agrément certificate is acquired and the process. We just need better clarity on whether a CE mark is enough for the SEAI grants.
