This survey gathers real experiences with Ireland’s retrofit grants to identify what works and where barriers remain. The insights will help improve accessibility, fairness, and delivery, ensuring the national retrofit effort benefits all households.
Ireland’s retrofit grants are central to the country’s climate and energy strategy, yet their effectiveness ultimately depends on how accessible, fair, and user‑friendly they are for households across all income levels and housing types. As the national retrofit effort scales up, understanding people’s real experiences—whether positive, challenging, or somewhere in between—has become essential. This survey aims to capture those insights directly from homeowners, tenants, and communities, helping to identify what works well and where barriers still persist.
The findings will support ongoing policy discussions and help shape improvements to grant design, communication, and delivery. By gathering evidence from those navigating the retrofit process, the survey seeks to ensure that Ireland’s support schemes evolve in a way that is both socially inclusive and technically robust. Ultimately, the goal is to build a retrofit system that works for everyone, strengthens trust, and accelerates progress towards a more energy‑efficient and climate‑resilient housing stock.
