As part of the implementation of this strategy, SEAI is piloting the Warmth and Wellbeing Scheme, which provides energy efficiency improvements to those with acute health problems that may be linked to the poor thermal efficiency of their dwelling. The scheme is a joint policy initiative between DCCAE and the Department of Health, operated by SEAI and the HSE.
