Have you thought about energy upgrades for your house, business or within your community?
Ms Jane Ryan (Community Energy Coordinator) Reports:-
EcoVision brings the Retrofit Information Expo to The Dome, Thurles, Co. Tipperary on Thursday August 28th from 2:00pm-4:00pm.
This event will have industry experts available to answer any questions on retrofitting, grants and finance, and tips on saving money and improving your property. This is a free event.
EcoVision is a Community Led Cooperative Retrofit One Stop Shop that started in Drombane, Upperchurch, Thurles 10 years ago. As a not-for-profit organisation, they help and guide property owners to identify the right energy options that will suit the home or business owner best and help access the grants and funding that are applicable. They work with local contractors to provide a service based on quality and ensuring a smooth and successful experience for each client.
The Mount Lucas Retrofit Rig will also be on hand at the event to deliver training on energy upgrades and retrofitting and allow you to learn about energy saving and the benefits of retrofitting, improving comfort and saving money. You can see ,at first-hand, a heat pump in action, discuss different types of solar panels, different insulation options that are available and experience some of processes using a virtual experience. The initiative aims to enhance general energy awareness and provide hands on training on energy efficiency and retrofitting techniques, focusing on Nearly Zero Energy Buildings (NZEB) with schools, contractors, homeowners and businesses.
SEAI, Sustainable Energy Authority Ireland, will be at the event to talk about available grants and how to help communities get started on their energy journeys. Businesses and homeowners will be able to get information on the Better Energy Communities Scheme, which offers grant funding of up to 30% for a business and up to 50% for homeowners for measures like insulation, heat pumps, ventilations, LED lighting, and solar PV.
If you are the owner of a vacant or derelict home/business we will have advisors available to help with grant funding and contractors to answer queries on your projects. This really is a one stop shop for anyone who is considering any energy upgrades in the next couple of years, so we hope to see you there.
