Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 26 July 2022
157. Deputy Ged Nash asked the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications the estimated number of homes with a BER rating of less than B2 or B3 respectively in Ireland; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [41665/22]
View answerThe information requested by the Deputy is not routinely reported on by Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) to my Department. However, Central Statistics Office, in their Domestic Building Energy Ratings Report for Quarter 2, 2022, published on 13th July 2022, shows on Table 16: "BERs weighted to National Level (2009-2022)" that 72% of homes have a BER of B3 or below, while 89% of homes have a BER of B2 or below.
