QUESTION NO.17

QUESTION: Councillor D. Ó Brádaigh

With regards to the ongoing Energy Retrofit Programme; To ask the manager to detail the cost and nature of works typically being upgraded in the Councils own housing stock that have been completed to date, and envisaged for the remaining 185 homes as identified, and are windows/doors being replaced alongside works, where previously approved?

REPLY:

Typically works involve the following (as determined by a building energy rating survey):

1. Insulation of both attic and cavity walls.

2. Window and Door replacement.

3. Installation of heat pump and ancillary works.

The works bring the property up to B2 standard. The capital budget allocated to the Energy Efficiency Retrofit Programme for 2024 is €6,000,000.  The windows and doors programme is being phased out but any previously agreed works will be completed.
