229 Mr. Howlin asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government the considerations which gave rise to his Department’s delay until 2003 in implementing new energy efficiency standards for housing; the basis on which developers have been permitted to build houses to the energy efficiency standards of the unrevised 1997 regulations up to the end of 2005; if the EU energy performance of buildings directive will require that all houses sold or rented must have a certificate to indicate the cost of heating a building; if so, if in delaying implementation of new energy efficiency standards for housing construction, due consideration was given by his Department to the effect of the directive on the market value of houses built to energy inefficient standards after 1998; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
