Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Energy Poverty: Discussion
Ms Clare O'Connor:
It could be done through building regulations. That is one way. Austria has introduced a renewable heat law through primary legislation. In the Netherlands and Denmark, it has been the building regulations. I am trying to remember what Germany has done but, yes, building regulations are one way. Primary legislation could be positive because the issue of the gas grid connections could be brought into that as well.
