Ireland’s Community of Practice

Who We Are & Our Mission
The Irish EU Peers community meets and engages through a combination of meetings, in-person events, and online collaboration via HumHub, creating a space where members can share ideas, discuss barriers, and celebrate success stories relating to retrofit and renovation projects. The community has also engaged in important bilateral meetings with key stakeholders including SEAI and the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications (DECC), alongside organising webinars and workshops with IHRS providers, OSS, contractors, and supply chain actors to strengthen the entire renovation ecosystem.

How We Work Together
Key highlights include producing an awareness video to increase membership visibility. The Irish platform continues growing steadily, supported by SEAI's Home Energy Upgrade grants and the Home Energy Upgrade Loan Scheme providing loans up to €75,000, helping Ireland meet its ambitious 2030 and 2050 climate targets. The Irish community has also produced valuable resources such as a comprehensive briefing document on how Ireland's one-stop shop model aligns with the EU's Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) recast 2024.
