Sustainable, efficient dwellings
Refurbishment to increase the energy efficiency of a dwelling
These grants are for owners of property who wish to implement measures to increase the energy efficiency of their habitual residence, such as modification of doors, changes to windows or changes to climate control systems that replace fossil fuels with renewable energy or biomass.
Besides the energy savings in household consumption that such measures entail, they will contribute to mitigation of the effects of climate change and to building a more sustainable country.
