On the methodology, we are looking at developing our own. We see now with the European performance of buildings directive we are looking at a consistent methodology across Europe for energy labelling. We are moving away from the BER we have had for the last ten or 12 years, I think, or at least the bands for the BERs across member states are going to be consistent now, which they have not been until recently. That is for the operational energy use of the buildings. If we are looking at developing a methodology for whole-life carbon here with SEAI, which is really important work, I am curious about what is happening in other countries. Are we perhaps going down the road of being inconsistent with what other countries are doing?
