91.

View answerThe Warmer Homes scheme is only available to people in receipt of certain qualifying payments from the Department of Social Protection. The means tested payments provide an indication of the income of those households. The qualifying payment for each applicant is collected under the scheme. The Building Energy Rating provides information in relation to the amount of energy needed to run a home. Building Energy Ratings are collected both before and after works are carried out on the homes receiving works under the scheme, and provide an indication of the household energy use both before and after those works.
