The Government has a strict target for all newly leased buildings to reach a ‘near Zero’ energy rating by 2025.

It all means the State will have a mountain to climb to achieve its own targets for low-energy buildings. For more on this Joe was joined on the show by Orla Coyle is the Director of Sustainability with Savills Ireland.
