Eco Eye tonight: Homes of the future

Duncan Stewart examined the future of housing on tonight's Eco Eye and what zero energy buildings will mean for the rest of Ireland's aging architecture.

If you missed you, you can watch it now on the RTÉ Player here.

Homes built in 2017 are better built than almost any of the existing two million homes built before 2012. Duncan speaks to one householder about battling fuel poverty and trying to shallow-retrofit her home.

How will those pre-2012 houses survive in the future? Will they be upgraded to live up to Ireland's 2020 and 2030 emissions targets? Duncan Stewart aims to find out.

Watch Eco Eye tonight at 7:00 pm on RTÉ One. Catch up now on the RTÉ Player.
