It’s official. Attitudes are changing, and the benefits of home energy retrofits are becoming well understood in Ireland.

Some 22,000 energy upgrades were completed with grant aid through The Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) in the first half of 2023. That’s an impressive 150% up on the same period last year. 7,566 homes were elevated to a snug Building Energy Rating (BER) of B2 or higher, 210% up on the same period in 2022.
