Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department funds a number of grant schemes, administered by the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) to support homeowners and Approved Housing Bodies (ABHs) to improve the energy efficiency of their buildings. The schemes provide grant support for a range of energy efficiency improvements to existing buildings owned by private homeowners, private landlords and Approved Housing Bodies, including the installation of insulation, heat pump systems, solar PV (Photo-Voltaic) technology, as well as other energy upgrades.
The Better Energy Homes Scheme allows homeowners, including AHBs, to take a step-by-step approach and self-manage the project, while the National Home Energy Upgrade Scheme (One-Stop-Shop scheme) and the Community Energy Grant Scheme are aimed towards homeowners, including AHBs, wishing to undertake a whole home energy upgrade to achieve a BER of at least B2 with a minimum primary energy uplift of at least 100 kWh/m2/year. The National Home Energy Upgrade Scheme (NHEUS) and the Community Energy Grant Scheme both offer a start-to-finish project management service through registered One Stop Shops or Project Co-ordinators respectively.
