NEW RESEARCH HAS found that two-thirds of consumers in Ireland have made at least one significant improvement to their home’s energy efficiency this year as energy costs rise.

The findings, published by the Banking and Payments Federation Ireland, also detail that 42% plan to make a change in the next three years.
