QUESTION: Councillor P. Holohan
"How many homes in the Tallaght south area have being retro fitted by SDCC in the last 5 years and how many are still to be done?"
REPLY:
The Energy Efficiency Retrofitting Programme (EERP) was launched 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.
