    No really responding to your question but thought that you might be interested that from next year the new EU regulation on home heating will come into effect. The following is an extract from an article produced by RTE.

    The new EU law will require house sellers to provide a certificate to the purchaser, detailing how much it costs to heat the building.

    Chief Executive of Century Homes Ltd Gerry McCaughey told the Committee that currently, there are houses being built in Dublin to 1997 regulations, which he said the Department of Environment has admitted is 35% below 2002 regulations.


    He accused the Government of protecting hollow block construction in this country by not changing building regulations and said it was blatent interference in competition within the construction industry.

    He added that house buyers who spend money today are going to get 'absoloutely screwed' when the energy performance building directive comes into place in January - through no fault of their own.

    Labour's Eamonn Gilmore said people who are buying houses today have been left in a fools paradise by the Government and equated it to the nursing home scandal. He pointed out that buyers are unaware that if they go to resell houses in the future, that the value of the property will be affected by its label.

    Hope you find this of interest.
