Uhulumeni wase-Ireland uyaphusha ukulungiswa kwe-eco-friendly futhi home insulation in Dublin nge izibonelelo zikahulumeni zokubuyisela kabusha³. Ngo-Q1 2024, cishe amakhaya ayi-12,000 athole ukuthuthukiswa kwamandla, okukhuphuke ngo-18% kusukela ngonyaka odlule.³. Bahlose ukubuyisela ingxenye yesithathu yezindlu ngo-2030⁴.

Sibonga uhulumeni, amakhaya angaphezu kuka-5,050 manje anesilinganiso se-BER B2 noma esingcono, ukweqa okungama-53%.³. Cishe amakhaya angu-1,200 angenawo amandla athole ukuthuthukiswa kwamahhala, futhi izicelo ezingaphezu kuka-15,450 zacutshungulwa.³. I-SEAI ibika ukwenyuka kwezicelo ze-Solar PV retrofit scheme, ezingaphezu kuka-21,000 ekupheleni kwe-Q3 2024.³.

Ithebula elilandelayo lifingqa izibalo ezibalulekile ukulungiswa kabusha e-Ireland:

E-Ireland, i-SEAI iqinisekisa izilinganiso zamandla asekhaya ngohlelo lwe-Building Energy Rating (BER). Lolu hlelo lukala amakhaya ukusuka ku-A1 kuya ku-G⁵. Isiza abanikazi bezindlu baqonde ukusetshenziswa kwamandla endlu yabo nokuthi bangawathuthukisa kanjani. Ukusebenzisa ukushisisa okonga amandla, njengamabhayela ajiyisayo noma amaphampu okushisa, kungakhuphula izinga le-BER lekhaya⁵.

Ukuthuthukisa isilinganiso se-BER yekhaya kubalulekile. Passive house retrofits ukusiza ngokunciphisa ukulahlekelwa ukushisa ngezindonga, ama-attics, namafasitela⁵. Ikhaya lilahlekelwa ukushisa kwalo okungama-20-30% ezindongeni futhi kufika ku-30% ngaphezulu ngenxa yendlu engaphansi engafakwanga kahle.⁵. Ngokukhetha ukufudumeza okuyonga amandla kanye ukulungiswa kwendlu okungenzi lutho, abanikazi bezindlu banganciphisa ukusetshenziswa kwamandla futhi bakhulise inani lempahla yabo.

Izindleko zokwenza ikhaya liwonge kakhudlwana ziyahlukahluka. Kuya ngeminyaka yekhaya nosayizi, ngezindleko ezisuka ku-€25,000 kuya ku-€75,000 noma ngaphezulu.⁶. Kodwa, izibonelelo ze-SEAI zingasiza ukwehlisa lezi zindleko⁶. Ngokuqonda ukubaluleka kwezilinganiso zamandla asekhaya kanye nokutshala imali ekushisiseni okusebenzayo nasekubuyiseleni imali, abanikazi bezindlu bangenza amakhaya abo aqine futhi akhululeke.

Uhulumeni wase-Ireland wethule izinhlelo eziningi zokusiza abanikazi bezindlu ukuthi babuyisele amakhaya abo. Lokhu kwenza kube lula futhi kushibhe ukukwenza. Banikeza izibonelelo ukusiza ukuthuthukisa amakhaya ukuze asebenzise amandla kakhudlwana. Uhulumeni uhlela ukwenza ngcono lezi zibonelelo, okuhlanganisa ne-Euro eyizigidi ezingu-500 yeSikimu Sokuthuthukisa Amandla Ekhaya Lenzalo Ephansi.

• Kuhlanganisiwe: €40,000 - €70,000
• Ifulethi: €20,000 - €35,000

Lezi zibalo zivela ekuhlaziyweni kwezindleko ze-SEAI zezindlu zokuqala ezizimele ezingama-300¹³.

Kunemalimboleko kahulumeni efinyelela ku-€75,000 enenzalo ephansi eqala ku-3.55%¹². Futhi, kukhona izibonelelo nolunye usizo lokwenza lokhu kuthuthukiswa kufinyeleleke kakhulu kubanikazi bezindlu.

Ngokutshala imali ekuthuthukisweni okonga amandla, njengokugqumisa e-Dublin, unganciphisa izikweletu zakho zamandla. Ilungele futhi iplanethi. Kubalulekile ukuhlela nokwenza ibhajethi kahle yalokhu kuthuthukiswa, ubheka zonke izindleko nokonga¹³.

Ukuqonda izindleko nokonga kokuthuthukiswa kwamandla kusiza abanikazi bezindlu benze izinqumo ezihlakaniphile. Ngale ndlela, bangenza amakhaya abo ukuthi agcineke bona kanye nomphakathi wabo.

E-Ireland, ikakhulukazi e-Cork, abanikazi bezindlu bakhetha izinhlelo zokufudumeza ezonga amandla. Lezi zinketho zisiza ukunciphisa ukusetshenziswa kwamandla kanye nezindleko eziphansi¹⁴. Amasistimu afana ne-solar PV namaphampu okushisa abalulekile, ngenxa yezibonelelo zikahulumeni nezikimu¹⁴. Isibonelo, i-SEAI inikeza kufika ku-€1,800 we-solar PV kanye nokufika ku-€6,500 wamaphampu okushisa.¹⁴.

Iphrojekthi ye-Superhomes2030 iwumfutho omkhulu wokubuyisela amakhaya angama-35,000 ngo-2030.¹⁵. Yenze amagxathu amakhulu, yakhuphula izinga lokubuyiselwa kwemali lisuka kwayi-100 liye phezu kwamakhaya angama-500 ngonyaka ngo-2023.¹⁵. Isibalo sosonkontileka sesiphindeke kabili safinyelela ku-80, kanti sekuqeqeshwe ochwepheshe abangaphezu kuka-200¹⁵.

Ezinye izinketho eziphezulu zokubuyisela kabusha amakhaya ase-Ireland yilezi:

• Amasistimu we-Solar PV
• Izinhlelo zokupompa ukushisa
• Izilawuli zokushisisa
• Ukufakwa kwe-attic
• I-Cavity wall insulation

Ukukhetha osonkontileka abafanele nabahloli kuyisihluthulelo sephrojekthi ephumelelayo yokubuyisela kabusha e-Ireland. I-Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) iphakamisa ukukhetha labo abanezitifiketi futhi abanolwazi lokubuyisela kabusha. Lokhu kuqinisekisa ukuthi umsebenzi usezingeni eliphezulu¹⁶. Kubaluleke kakhulu ukwenza amakhaya asebenzise amandla kakhudlwana futhi asebenze kangcono.

I-SEAI inenqubo yokunikeza izitifiketi kosonkontileka. Kudingeka babonise ukuthi baneziqu ezifanele, njengokufaneleka komhloli Wezilinganiso Zokwakha Isakhiwo (BER), ukuze babe Osonkontileka Ababhalisiwe Be-SEAI.¹⁶. I-National Home Retrofit Scheme e-Ireland futhi ihlose ukuthuthukisa Isilinganiso Samandla Okwakhiwa Kwezindlu (i-BER) sifike ezingeni le-B2 okungenani.¹⁷.

Lapho ukhetha usonkontileka, cabangela lezi zici:

• Isitifiketi kanye nolwazi lokubuyisela kabusha
• Iziqu, ezifana neziqu zomhloli weBuilding Energy Rating (BER).
• Ukuxhumana okucacile nokuziphatha kochwepheshe

Ukukhetha usonkontileka oqeqeshiwe kusho ukuthi iphrojekthi yakho yokubuyisela kabusha izokwenziwa kahle. Lokhu kunikeza abanikazi bezindlu ukuthula kwengqondo nolwazi oluphumelelayo¹⁶. Futhi, izibonelelo zivame ukumboza cishe u-80% wezindleko zokuthuthukiswa kwamandla asekhaya. Lokhu kusiza ukunciphisa umthwalo wezezimali kubanikazi bezindlu¹⁷.

Ukubuyisela kabusha amakhaya kunganciphisa kakhulu ukukhishwa kwekhabhoni. Lokhu kusiza ukuhlangabezana nezinjongo zesimo sezulu sikazwelonke futhi kuthola ukwesekwa uhulumeni ekuthuthukisweni kwekhaya eliluhlaza¹⁸. Abanikazi bezindlu bangasebenzisa izinguquko ezilungele imvelo ukuze basebenzise amandla amancane futhi bakhiphe amagesi abamba ukushisa ambalwa. Isibonelo, ukusebenzisa umoya nolwelwesi olungangenisi umoya kunganciphisa ukulahlekelwa ukushisa kufika ku-60%¹⁹.

Ezinye izinzuzo ezibalulekile zokubuyisela kabusha zifaka:

• Ukusetshenziswa kwamandla okuncane
• Ukukhishwa okuphansi
• Umoya ongcono ngaphakathi ekhaya
• Inani lekhaya eliphakeme

Abanikazi bezindlu bangafinyelela lezi zinzuzo ngokusebenzisa ukuthuthukiswa okuhlukahlukene okuluhlaza. Lokhu kuhlanganisa ukufaka amafasitela okonga amandla, amasistimu okufudumeza angcono, kanye nokwengeza izinto ezifakwa ngaphakathi. Izibonelelo zikahulumeni zingasiza futhi ukukhokhela izindleko zalokhu kuthuthukiswa, kuzenze zifinyeleleke kakhulu¹⁸.

I-Ireland ihlela ukunciphisa ukukhishwa kwegesi ebamba ukushisa ngama-42% ngo-2030 uma kuqhathaniswa namazinga ka-2005.¹⁸. Ukuze kufinyelelwe lokhu okuhlosiwe, uhulumeni unikeza izibonelelo zokuthuthukisa amakhaya aluhlaza. Lezi zibonelelo zisiza abanikazi bezindlu ukuthi basebenzise amandla amancane futhi banciphise i-carbon footprint yabo. Ngokusebenzisa lezi zibonelelo kanye nokwenza izinguquko ezilungele imvelo, abanikazi bezindlu bangasiza ekwakheni ikusasa eliluhlaza futhi banciphise umthelela wabo kwezemvelo.¹⁹.

Kulo lonke elase-Ireland, amaphrojekthi amaningi okubuyisela abonise impumelelo enkulu. Lokhu kuhlanganisa izinguquko ezindlini zaseDublin, ukuthuthukiswa kwezindawo zasemaphandleni, nokusebenza ezakhiweni ezinomlando. Isibonelo, ukuthuthukiswa kokushisisa kwaSmith's Funeral Directors eGranard konga cishe u-5,717 kWh wamandla unyaka ngamunye. Lokhu cishe ku-€1,143²⁰.

Izibonelelo zokubuyisela kabusha zingamboza u-50% kuya ku-80% wezindleko e-Ireland²¹. Lokhu kuholele ekutheni kube nezinsiza ezengeziwe zezindlu ezakhiwa ngemuva kweminyaka yawo-1940, zikhula zisuka kwezi-2 ziye phezu kwezingama-20 phakathi kuka-2021 no-2022.²¹. Futhi, izibonelelo ezimboza u-100% wezindleko ziyatholakala ukusiza labo abalwa nobubha bukaphethiloli, okwenza ukubuyisela kabusha kufinyeleleke kakhulu kwabaningi.

Ukufakwa kwasekhaya eDublin kwehlise kakhulu ukusetshenziswa kwamandla kanye nezikweletu. E-Cork, amakhaya afakwe kabusha akhombisa impumelelo ye ukulungiswa kwendlu okungenzi lutho ekongeni amandla. Lezi zibonelo zibonisa ukuthi ukubuyisela kabusha kusiza kanjani i-Ireland ukuthi ihlangabezane nezinjongo zayo zesimo sezulu futhi inqande ukukhishwa kwesisi esibamba ukushisa.

Impumelelo yala maphrojekthi ikhombisa amandla okonga amandla kanye namakhaya asimeme kulo lonke elase-Ireland. Ngokusekelwa ngokwezimali nokuzibandakanya komphakathi, uhulumeni angakhuthaza abanikazi bezindlu abengeziwe ukuthi babuyisele. Lokhu kuzosiza ukudala ikusasa elisimeme neliwonga ugesi.

Ikusasa lokulungiswa kabusha kwekhaya e-Ireland liqhakazile, ngenxa yokwesekwa kukahulumeni kanye nesidingo esikhulayo²² ukuthuthukiswa kokusebenza kahle kwamandla. I-Ireland ihlose ukunciphisa ukukhishwa kwegesi ebamba ukushisa ngo-51% ngo-2030. Lo mgomo uhlanganisa ukubuyisela kabusha izakhiwo ezingu-500,000, isinyathelo esikhulu sokwenza amakhaya asimame.

I-Retrofit Scheme Ireland inikeza usizo lwezezimali kanye²³ izibonelelo zokwenza ukubuyisela kabusha kube lula kubanikazi bezindlu. Iphrojekthi ye-LIFE LEAP isebenza ne-Sustainable Energy Authority yase-Ireland. Isiza abanikazi bezindlu nabahlinzeki ezindaweni ezithile ngamaphrojekthi abo wokubuyisela kabusha.
