The purpose of the grants is to improve the energy economy of residential buildings. Grants are aimed at reducing both energy consumption and emissions of greenhouse gases.Grants are awarded for: - Conducting independent energy audits - External repair work as defined in legislation - Improving the ventilation and heating systems - Implementing renewable energy sources. The grant covers up to 15 - 25 % of the approved costs and are awarded by the local authority. Due to the overall reductions in the Government budget, these subsidies have now been partially ceased.
