View answerThe information requested in the Question is being compiled and will be forwarded to the Deputy.
The following deferred reply was received under Standing Order 51
The National Residential Retrofit Plan is one important measure contained in the 2021 Climate Action Plan (CAP21) aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the built environment. Other measures announced as part of CAP21 include strengthening the building regulations, supporting the roll-out of district heating, the development of low carbon construction materials and technologies, and an ambitious public sector decarbonisation programme. These measures, in conjunction with the National Residential Retrofit Plan, will contribute towards emissions reductions in the built environment.
The Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) has provided the data below setting out the estimated emissions saved for each retrofit scheme from homes that were retrofitted to Building Energy Rating (BER) B2 standard in each of the years from 2019 to date.
