Case Studies

The Irish Blood Transfusion Service is implementing a long-term Climate and Sustainability Strategy that seeks to reduce environmental impact while maintaining the safe and reliable provision of critical healthcare services.

With a nationwide sales fleet, electrifying vehicles was a logical step for VHI.

Tipperary University Hospital has invested significantly in energy efficiency upgrades over the last three years.

The HSE Capital and Estates South West reviewed its energy use in two County Kerry facilities. The aim was to make the buildings more efficient, reduce energy bills and cut down on carbon emissions.

This case study examines the decarbonisation project for the Ballyogan Operations Centre, part of Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council corporate estate. It serves as a powerful example of what can be accomplished through collaboration and shared values, and it will undoubtedly inspire other public bodies who are looking to enhance energy performance.

The Energy Team carried out multiple energy upgrades at St Mary’s Hospital making it warmer and more comfortable for patients and staff.

Green Team aims to reduce energy bills and generate renewable electricity with new Solar PV system.

University College Cork (UCC) is one of Ireland’s oldest universities with a strong track record of sustainability.

Throughout its facilities, the organisation has undertaken energy upgrades including solar panels, EV charging infrastructure, heat pumps and new heating systems.

LWETB installed smart meters across 24 locations to better manage their energy consumption. Since the smart meters were installed, LWETB has seen significant energy savings:

As part of the OPW's commitment to reducing energy consumption and waste, a large solar photovoltaic (PV) array was installed at the OPW Head Office in Trim.

The objective of the project was to upgrade the building energy rating (BER) from a C3 to a targeted B1, while reducing carbon emissions by a minimum of 51%

A suite of energy saving recommendations associated with the control and operation of the heating system at St. Mary's Hospital were identified and implemented.

The upgrade works centred around the replacement of two end-of-life boilers, which supplied heat to the district heating network.

St. Mary's BNS was included in the Pathfinder in 2021, with deep retrofit works needed.

As part of the OPW's commitment to reducing energy consumption and waste, The National Shared Services Office underwent a large-scale lighting upgrade.
