The Sustainable Energy Ireland Public Sector Programme promotes energy efficient design, technologies and services in new and retrofit public sector projects. Under this programme, the energy performance of public sector buildings is enhanced through improved design, investment and management.
The programme supports projects that act as examples of good practice. It recognises the diversity of buildings and the potential for improvement, and it has the capacity to influence other sectors of the economy. The programme has three funding elements:
The Design Study Support Scheme provides support for professional expertise to examine the technical and economic feasibility of design and technology solutions
The Model Solutions Investment Support Scheme supports energy management and technology solutions in existing buildings and new build specifications
The Energy Management Bureau supports outsourced energy management services to manage energy usage and to identify and implement energy-related projects
