Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Retrofitting Schemes: Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland

Mr. John Randles:

First, the intervention is not a B2 programme but rather a programme targeting energy poverty. The first thing is to go in and assess the house for what needs to be completed, and it may just be attic or cavity wall insulation that fits the bill. The new programme will definitely focus on the worst performing homes. It was launched in mid-February and has changed the programme and given priority to Es, Fs and Gs which were more than likely to come up during construction to B2.
