Skills and Supports Required for Businesses to Meet Decarbonisation Targets: Discussion

Mr. Declan Meally:

Again, we will have to look at how that will be achieved. We may decide not to use some of those buildings. Other buildings can be connected into district heating and renewable heating and can achieve targets that way. That is what the roadmap is looking at. It is saying that we will retrofit some, we will connect some to district heating, and we may move out of some of them where they are too inefficient. That is what the roadmap will have to look at over the next number of years.
