Environmental information requested (non-exhaustive) 1. Any policy papers, briefing notes, submissions to Ministers, impact assessments, or internal guidance held by the Department that discuss: • the scope and objectives of BER or related energy-performance policy, and • whether indoor environmental quality, radon risk, ventilation, moisture/mould, or health impacts were considered. 2.

Any records of interdepartmental groups, committees, consultations, or stakeholder engagements where potential interactions between energy efficiency objectives and human health or indoor environmental quality were discussed. 4. Any documents addressing whether Ireland’s national environmental or public-health context, including its elevated radon risk profile, warranted specific consideration or policy treatment when transposing or implementing EU energy-performance requirements. 5. Any records reflecting consideration of potential trade-offs between climate/energy objectives and indoor environmental quality or health, including whether safeguards or complementary measures were discussed. 6. Any records, memoranda, briefing notes, or correspondence indicating that radon, indoor air quality, ventilation-related health impacts, or moisture/mould were considered to fall outside the scope of energy-performance or BER policy, including any rationale recorded for such exclusion or deferral to other regulatory frameworks.
