This publication was launched by Eamon Ryan, T.D. Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources, on Wednesday 21st October in the Royal Irish Academy, 19 Dawson Street, Dublin 2.

The report, written by IIEA Senior Researcher, Joseph Curtin, argues that in the midst of an economic crisis, a National Energy Efficiency Retrofit Programme for Irelands residential housing stock offers the opportunity to create tens of thousands of jobs in the hard-hit construction sector, while addressing the profound challenges of energy security, climate change and fuel poverty. For more than a million households the result would be a warmer, greener, more valuable home with drastically reduced energy bills. The report presents options for how such a programme might be financed and rolled out
