QUESTION NO. 3

QUESTION: Councillor N. Fennell

To ask the Chief Executive to detail the progress of this council's retrofitting programme of own stock to date?

REPLY:

The purpose of the Energy Efficiency Retrofit Programme (EERP) is to bring properties with low energy efficiency rating to a building energy rating (BER) of B2. The works to each property can include combination of new window and doors, upgrading on existing building fabric insulation and the installation of energy efficient air to water heating systems. Funding and deliverable targets are provided by the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage. 

For 2025, a funding allocation of €2.82m has been approved to facilitate retrofit works on 83 properties. This substantial investment demonstrates the continued commitment to improving the energy performance of our social housing stock. 

To date, the Planned Maintenance Team has successfully delivered energy retrofit works across a total of 393 residential properties, meeting the target set for this year and delivering significant energy efficiencies for our social housing tenants. Works have commenced on an additional 50 properties, and detailed energy performance surveys have been completed on 83 homes with specifications to be drafted for tender. 

The council has also made provision of €5m expenditure in our 3 year Capital Programme 2025-2027 for window and door replacement in our social housing stock.

Progress on the Windows and Doors Programme is outlined below:
