Public Accounts Committee

2021 Financial Statements of the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland: Discussion

9:30 am

Dr. Ciaran Byrne:

To clarify, I just gave the Deputy the answer for the warmer homes scheme, which is fully funded. What the Deputy is talking about is the one-stop shop scheme, where one has to have a home energy assessment. That is a full assessment of the home. It has three parts. The first is the pre-works BER, the second is a technical assessment of the home, and the third is a home heat-loss indicator calculation. Effectively, there is a full energy assessment of the entire home from start to finish so one can figure out what works to put in place.
