The Energy Efficiency/Retrofitting Programme was launched in 2013 to improve the insulation standards and overall energy performance of local authority social housing stock. The programme is being implemented in two phases: Phase 1 provides funding targeted at the less intrusive cavity wall/attic insulation, while Phase 2 focuses on the fabric upgrade works to dwellings with solid/hollow block wall construction and includes the provision of heating upgrades.

Since the programme commenced, 68,296 social homes have been insulation retrofitted, with a total exchequer spend of €128.7 million. This equates to an average cost of €1,885 per home retrofitted under the measure. The Programme has a budget of €25 million for 2019.
