My Department is developing Ireland’s National Building Renovation Plan which will outline the renovation of the national stock of residential and non-residential buildings, both public and private, into a highly energy-efficient and decarbonised building stock by 2050, with the objective of transforming existing buildings into zero-emission buildings.

As part of our role in the coordination and development of this plan, my Department is currently working alongside other Departments on the transposition of measures from the recast Energy Performance of Buildings Directive to be included in the plan.

All stakeholders will be invited to share their views on the draft National Building Renovation Plan, including individuals and groups most impacted by energy poverty. The public consultation will be well publicised by my Department to ensure all stakeholders are aware of the time window to provide their views.
