This scheme aims to improve the energy efficiency and comfort conditions of homes occupied by low-income households, and to establish the systems and growing the capacity in Ireland to install such measures.
Regional community based organizations will be engaged to acquire and apply the skills to carry out the work - which includes attic insulation, draught proofing, lagging jackets, energy efficient lighting, cavity wall insulation and energy advice.
The scheme is intended to reach the people who need it most. However, eligibility criteria are determined locally and can vary according to where you live. Eligible homes will be identified locally via networks drawn from the statutory and voluntary sector.
The focus is on privately owned and rented homes, which are more diverse and difficult to access than local authority homes, and the latter are catered for elsewhere.
