RIAI Conference CIBSE Breakfast Briefing Deep Retrofit Pilot Programme 1st Insights Conor Hanniffy Brian McIntyre 5th October 2018
Overview of Deep Retrofit Pilot Vision & Policy What is it? Guidelines update Who is it for? Target Market Solutions What’s the offer? The value proposition Opportunity? Challenges & opportunities Pilot update 1st insights Awareness Communications, behavior and call to action 6 www.seai.ie
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 8
Deep Retrofit Pilot Programme • Multi annual pilot programme 2017 -2019 • €5m budget allocation 2018 • Residential market only 9
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) 11

Insights from the pilot evaluation
HOUSEHOLDS What did we evaluate? Who is participating? Their experience of the deep retrofit pilot PROFILIN G • Expectations • Impacts during works • The process of working with contractor & SEAI Direct and indirect impacts of the deep retrofit • Individual • Social Factors to evaluate • Behavioural • Energy use
CONTRACTORS What did we evaluate? Motivations • How / why they got involved? • Understanding who they are & business goals Challenges PROFILIN G • Relating to the Deep Retrofit Pilot process / engaging consumers • Relating more generally to the challenge of deep retrofit Enablers • What has worked well for them? • What additional supports might help? Scaling • Do they have a plan to develop a pipeline of business • How can they be helped to do this
Benefits Overview of an SEAI Deep Retrofit Your house feels like a Provides a whole- To be aware of the new home: house solution value of a deep retrofit More comfortable no need to deal with & be encouraged to Healthier to live in separate grants and Homeowners take action More valuable contractors Future proofed Up to 50% funding Single point of contact Opportunities to build High value work with Complete package of networks and grow proven technologies measures business; a pipeline of Large- scale projects Rolling grant process work to retain staff and An opportunity to expand End to end project Contractors confidence in the their offering delivery technologies
The architect’s role in an SEAI deep retrofit
Unique skillset Professional capabilities • Understanding of the importance of a whole house approach to deep retrofit • Integral to the pre-application stage exploring the options to come up with the optimum package of measures • Good communication skills – selling the benefits • Potential to leverage projects to incorporate deep retrofit • Independent! Ideal candidate – an independent professional with BER capabilities 35 © M.CO
Communicating the benefits – beyond kWhs Householder Opinion 94% answered 53% of 76% feel the value 69% don’t have their home feels householders notice of their house has the heating on less damp that they use more increased as much rooms in the house “People want to future proof their homes to be In addition to the energy environmentally conscious, savings, 65% of householders but people wouldn’t do it reported that they are now more without the uplift in value. conscious of their energy The two must go hand in use in general, and 59% have hand or there is no cost seen their overall energy bills benefit.” reduce as a result of the deep retrofit. 36 © M.CO
Understanding the health benefits Householder Opinion 35% find they have had 94% think the air in fewer trips to the their home is 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” 37 © M.CO

How can we get more homeowners to upgrade their home? 50
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 54
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” 56
Communicating with homeowners in their own language Some tips you can start applying today! 57
Improving Home Energy Audit Reports 58 www.seai.ie
Talking to People in Their Language OR 59 www.seai.ie
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 60 www.seai.ie
