QUESTION NO. 7

QUESTION: Councillor D. Donnelly

To ask the Chief Executive what is the current cost to energy retrofit a 3 bed house in south Dublin?

REPLY:

The Energy Efficiency/Retrofitting Programme (EERP) was launched in 2013 with the aim of funding the retrofit of local authority social housing to improve the energy efficiency to a B2 Building Energy Rating (BER) or cost-optimal equivalent. The programme provides for a significant level of funding focusing on ensuring that the fabric of the home is upgraded. Key improvements include: installation of heat pumps, wall and attic insulation and new windows and doors.

Costs can vary subject to the specific scope of works required in each property. Based on the programme delivered to date, the average cost of EERP works per dwelling is approximately €40,000.
