Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department is currently developing Ireland’s National Building Renovation Plan which will outline the renovation of the residential and non-residential building stock, both public and private, into a highly energy-efficient and decarbonised building stock by 2050, with the objective of transforming existing buildings into zero-emission buildings.
As part of our role in the coordination and development of this plan, my Department is currently working alongside other Departments in the consideration of policies and measures, including those required under the recast Energy Performance of Buildings Directive, to be included in the plan.
My Department will be inviting all stakeholders to share their views on a draft version of the plan as part of this process, including individuals and groups most impacted by energy poverty. The public consultation will be well publicised to ensure all stakeholders are aware of the time window to provide their views. Once the public consultation is completed, all views will be considered and incorporated as appropriate into a final version of the National Building Renovation Plan.
