The local authority homes will be retrofitted but it’s hoped privately-owned properties in the same estate will benefit
Cost is seen as a barrier to private homeowners seeking deep retrofits for their properties.
The project in north Dublin was revealed at the Dáil’s Public Accounts Committee where the SEAI was quizzed by Social Democrats TD Catherine Murphy on what measures were being taken to scale up retrofitting across multiple homes in a community. She suggested there were cost efficiencies by doing this.
Speaking to The Irish Times, Fingal’s housing director, Mr Burns, said: “If we’re looking at doing energy retrofits at pace and scale in Ireland, it’s a good idea to adopt an area-based approach that looks to retrofit as many homes as possible at the same time.” After this work is reviewed by the council and SEAI, it is hoped the pilot retrofitting project will be carried out this year.
