Vision & Policy
          SEAI Strategy Statement 2017 - 2021

Key Challenge for SEAI

The requirement for large-scale and deeper retrofit within
our built environment in order to maximise energy
efficiencies

Associated challenges:
o development of appropriate technical solutions
o consumer awareness and adoption
o finance models

Deep Retrofit?
     Guiding Principles

     • Minimum A3 Building Energy Rating and uplift of 150 kWh/m2/yr
     • Whole house solution with a fabric first philosophy
     • Deployment of renewables - fossil fuels are not funded
     • Airtightness + controlled ventilation required
     • Demonstrate comfort and health benefits e.g. Indoor Air Quality

10
Scheme changes to date
 50% support of energy capital costs

 Requirement for pre-2006 homes is removed (150 kWh/m2/yr)

 Air permeability ≤ 5 m3/hr/m2
      -   Importance of pre-works airtightness plan
 5% project management + 2% design & BER + 1% bonus
  (3m3/m2/hr)

 Additional milestone payment at 25% completion stage
      -   25%, 50%, 90%, 100% (12 months post works)

               doctor                                                healthier

          “I was in a house fire years ago                    “We had to have the fire on all
          and as a result I have problems                     winter before. My brother used to
          with breathing an use inhalers.                     come up and he would be so chesty
                                                              after. Now we have the wood
          I would have serious chest                          burning stove, and he hasn’t had
          infections once the winter hit, and                 a problem since.”
          I’ll tell you, this year is the first
          time in a long time where I
          didn’t have to go on an anti-
          biotic”

How can we get more
     homeowners to
     upgrade their home?

Outline – What I’m going to cover today…

1. How do people make energy related decisions?
   – Why don’t people engage in energy saving behaviour?
   – How do people think about energy?

1. Some actionable takeaways!
   – Improving home energy audit reports
   – Talking to people in their language
   – Energy auditors as energy upgrade advocates
This is a no-brainer, why
aren’t people doing “X”?

Why don’t people engage in energy saving
behaviours?
Some Typical Diagnoses…

People aren’t engaging
because…                                  So, we should…
• They aren’t aware of the problem        • Run an awareness campaign and
  and the solutions we provide              provide information

• The offering is not in their economic   • Give grants and highlight payback
  self-interest                             periods

• They don’t care about the               • Change their attitudes through
  environment                               awareness campaigns
Does providing information to change attitudes lead to behaviour
change?

•    Information is often ineffective
     when provided alone

•    For example:

•    Energy Efficiency Workshop
     designed to change attitudes
     and knowledge

•    Only 2/40 installed wrap
•    Only 8/40 installed shower
     head

Are people motivated by economic self interest?
                 Are people economically rational?

‘Perfectly rational’ people should:      What people actually do…
• Switch energy providers every year     • Stay with the same provider for
                                           years
• Invest in energy projects with a
  positive rate of return                • Fail to apply for free energy upgrade
                                           schemes
• Monitor their energy bill and change
  their consumption when it becomes      • Pay bills automatically by direct debit
  too expensive                            and only notice large spikes in their
                                           bills
How Do People Think About Energy?

•    They use simple rules of thumb to make decisions

•    Most people have a relatively low level of energy literacy

•    Availability Bias – “Switching off lights and appliances”
                                  They Don’t!
• Focus on high level signals - “A rated means A rated”

Energy Auditors as Energy Upgrade Advocates

•    Providing sales training to energy auditors may significantly increase sales

•    Auditors were trained how to communicate their technical findings to align with the
     personal needs of the ‘customer’

•    Auditors were provided with basic checklists and proposal templates which included:

      – Scales measuring the homeowners motivations for upgrading
      – Questions to qualify customers interested in upgrades
      – Reminders for auditors to, for example, compliment the person’s home and offer
        to remove their shoes
