* A letter of offer from SEAI must be received before works can commence at Stage 1 & Stage 2
Stage 1 grants support EXEED Planning and Design activities. Ideally, the EXEED process will begin as
early as possible in a project but is is possible to begin at any stage before the design is finalised and the
implementation period begins. Stage 1 grant payment takes place once Stage 1 activities are completed.
Measurement and verification of the project should entail a comparison of energy performance in
operation ( B ) against the baseline design ( A1 , A2 , or A3 , as applicable)
