Health Impact Assessment of Deep Energy Renovations on Irish Domestic Dwellings - HAVEN

Welcome to the Health Impact Assessment of Deep Energy Renovations on Irish Domestic Dwellings - HAVEN website.

This project aims to study the health impact and associated benefits of energy renovation (to higher energy efficient standards such as BER B3) in households.

There are 2 parts to this study;

  • (1) 30 homes will have their indoor air quality measured before and after an energy renovation has been conducted
  • (2) 150 people will be asked to complete a health questionnaire before and after their home has been renovated. An additional 150 people living in comparable homes to the renovation homes will be asked to complete the health questionnaire at two time points to act as a comparison group.

This project has been funded by the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland under the SEAI Research, Development & Demonstration Funding Programme 2019, Grant number 19/RDD/435.
