About the Process
Article 4 of the Energy Efficiency Directive requires Member States to define long-term strategies for stimulating energy efficiency of the buildings sector. The Department of Energy, Communications and Natural Resources is therefore tasked with publishing a National Renovation Strategy V.2 by 30th April 2017, covering buildings in the commercial, residential and public building sectors.
The details of this strategy are critical to deliver a “fully decarbonised built environment that delivers a better quality of life for all”. How will we finance the long term investment strategy required for our building stock over the next 35 years? How will we reach our climate targets? All these questions will be answered by Ireland’s National Renovation Strategy V.2.
In 2016, the BUILD UPON project will bring together public authorities and a critical mass of key stakeholders across Ireland, empowering them to work in partnership to design and implement the v2.0 National Renovation Strategy. The first series of workshops in the spring of 2016 are designed to allow stakeholders to explore all initiatives that could allow us to move towards our vision. In the second part of the year, workshops will aim at prioritising measures and better defining how they could be implemented in Ireland. For further information on this process, please click here.
