Event Information

Galway City Council will be hosting a free day long event on the energy retrofit of traditional buildings on the 15 of November 2024.

Our historic traditional buildings account for near 20% of all buildings in Ireland. As we strive to reduce carbon emissions and energy bills, these buildings will play their part. However, a huge amount of damage can be done and costs incurred if retrofits are not undertaken with the right knowledge, care, and materials.

Conserving Energy = Conserving Buildings will bring together experts on the energy retrofit of traditional buildings to help you ensure that an energy retrofit can be good for the building, the environment, and you.

The aim of the course is to:

  • Inform attendees of best conservation practice and the basic principles of traditional building construction.
  • Inform attendees of the principles of sensitive energy retrofit intervention.
  • Introduce attendees to the new guidance issued by the DHLGH: Improving Energy Efficiency in Traditional Buildings, Guidance for Specifiers and Installers and SEAI grant for traditional buildings
