Mr. David O'Brien:

That is not my area directly, but I think we are not permitted to install fossil-fuelled heating and so on in new buildings if there is a certain cut-off. Our colleagues in the SEAI can probably speak more authoritatively than I can on this. I do not have the figures in front of me. The more holistic approach the Senator is talking about will be part of a project from inception. From the point at which a design crystallises, those concerned will be looking at reporting on embodied carbon, the life-cycle costs and assessment. This will be the case much more holistically over the next few years as we develop the metrics for it.
