Case studies on how to make your house warm and comfortable

The document is an annex of the Carrigaline SEC Energy Master Plan, focusing on energy retrofits for residential housing. It uses a tool called RetroKit to assess current energy performance and model retrofit scenarios. Key findings include:.

    • Retrofit Scenarios: Four scenarios—shallow fabric upgrades, medium retrofits (boiler or heat pump), and deep retrofits (heat pump)—are analyzed for cost-effectiveness and energy savings.
    • Heat Pump Readiness: 14% of homes are currently heat pump-ready, which increases to 54% with shallow fabric upgrades.
    • Energy Savings: Deep retrofits could lead to up to €5.2 million in annual energy cost savings across the community.
    • Case Studies: Seven typical house types in Carrigaline were analyzed, showcasing the impact of retrofits on energy performance, cost, and carbon emissions.

The report outlines step-by-step upgrade plans to help homeowners enhance comfort, reduce costs, and improve environmental sustainability.
