Information for Community

Are you looking to improve the energy efficiency of your community building? The SEAI offers grants of up to 50% for energy upgrades on community buildings and Portmarnock SEC can help you to find reliable suppliers and negotiate the paperwork.

Here’s what you need to know:

The first step is to have an energy audit done on the building. Most community groups will be able to get a grant for this through the SEAI and Portmarnock SEC can assist in arranging it for you.

Once your Energy Audit has been completed you will receive an independent report detailing how your building can be made more efficient, the estimated cost and the grants you would be entitled to.

If you decide to go ahead then we offer an end to end service. We will put you in touch with contractors and will do all the paperwork and grant applications on your behalf.

Practical Actions to take now

Electrical Appliances

Use the most energy efficient setting on electrical appliances and turn appliances off when not in use rather than leaving on standby

Heating

Check timers and temperatures for heating so that heating is on only when needed and at the lowest temperature needed for a particular room

Lighting

Ensure all lighting has LED bulbs and install movement sensors in rooms which are not regularly occupied

Energy Master Plan

Energy audits were conducted on four large public buildings:
Portmarnock Sports and Leisure Centre
Portmarnock AFC
St. Helen’s National School
Portmarnock Golf Club
A separate report was produced for each building with a range of improvements recommended.
