This help page provides guidance on completing section 4.5 'Existing buildings' of your organisation's Statement on compliance with the 2023 Climate Action Mandate.
§4.5 Existing buildings
In relation to existing buildings:
- Large public sector bodies and sectoral groups with a large estate should commence a deep retrofit of at least one building in 2023 in pursuit of the 2030 51% target;
- All public sector bodies should develop a building stock plan, as defined in the EPBD, by end-2023 for retrofitting their building stock to meet CAP targets;
- As part of the building stock plan, public sector bodies should undertake data gathering and consider the long-term (to 2050) retrofit key performance indicators to upgrade all their building stock to Nearly Zero Energy Buildings (NZEB) or Zero Energy Buildings (ZEB) as outlined in the recast EPBD and Energy Efficiency Directive;
- In 2023, SEAI will work with sectoral groups with a large estate to develop a renovation target
This question applies to public bodies which use greater than 50GWh of energy per annum.
Please provide an overview of deep retrofit activity undertaken in 2023
Please provide an explanation
Please confirm that your organisation does not qualify as a large public body (ie does not have energy use greater than 50GWh per annum).
Building stock plan guidance was issued in 2023, along with templates appropriate for different sizes of organisation. The guidance and templates are linked below.
Building stock plans were due in early 2024.
Please confirm that your building stock plan has been completed and submitted to SEAI.
