Um, yeah, so the research is called Vacant to Viable: Do the Building Regulations Create Barriers to Reusing Existing Buildings? So we looked particularly at over-the-shop and town center properties, and it's for u- reusing them as homes in particular.
Um, it has, um, uh, the method of the research, so we read a lot of acts, statutory instruments, citations, so all the documents that are within the guidance documents, and guidance documents, o-o-other guidance published by the state and by others, which, the purpose of which is to be used, um, for reusing existing buildings.
We did a call-out for surveys, for case studies, um, to the professional bodies, and we then conducted interviews with people who submitted case studies.
Um, we are, uh, working on the research with the Irish Green Building Council.
Interestingly, it's the Department of Housing, Local Government, and Heritage who commissioned the research, and it is funded by Enterprise Ireland through Construct Innovate.
So it's fantastic to have the Department of Housing involved in the research.
That's been really key to the res- the, the, I think the impact that the research is going to have.
