The Energy Ireland® National Retrofitting Conference, takes place on Thursday, November 28, 2024, at Dunboyne Castle Hotel, Co Meath.
It is organised by Energy Ireland in partnership with Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland and sponsored by SSE Airtricity.
One-stop-shop approach to retrofitting
In partnership with the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) and sponsored by SSE Airtricity, this year’s event will focus on the government’s ambitious area-based, one-stop-shop approach to retrofitting, aimed at upgrading at least 500,000 homes to a B2 energy rating by 2030. SEAI, as the designated National Retrofitting Delivery Body, is leading the charge on this transformative programme.
The National Retrofitting Conference, now in its fourth year, will convene key players involved in the programme’s implementation. It will also explore the deep energy retrofitting of public sector and commercial buildings.
Join industry leaders and experts as they discuss progress, share insights, and explore opportunities for further involvement in this critical national effort. Don’t miss this opportunity to engage in the conversation shaping the future of energy efficiency in Ireland.
An expert panel of local and visiting experts will look at issues including:
Progress on the National Retrofitting Programme
Best Practices in the One-Stop-Shop Model
Heat Pumps: Challenges and Opportunities
Addressing Skills Gaps in Retrofitting
Deep Retrofitting in Social Housing
