In conjunction with Tipperary Energy Agency (TEA) this course will include low carbon heating options, heat pump types and applications, design considerations for heat pumps, installation and commissioning watch outs, and finish with lessons from SuperHomes 2.0 Research project (TUS), and cold weather performance of heat pumps.

This course, Climate Action Leadership & Decarbonisation Training, is made up of 4 focused training sessions: Session 1 – Leadership & Decarbonisation; Session 2 – Understanding Decarbonisation, a programme for public sector leaders; Session 3 – Financing Decarbonisation for public sector facilities, with an overview on effective funding solutions; and Session 4 – Communication & Action Planning

This course addresses challenges like poor air quality and high heating costs associated with traditional shallow retrofits, offering a comprehensive support system for homeowners.

The aim of the Certificate in Residential Retrofit Site Coordination programme is to up-skill building workers and crafts to develop knowledge and skills that allow them to deliver high-quality, energy-efficient carbon-neutral retrofits to existing residential buildings whilst complying with Ireland’s current Building Regulations.

This programme is designed to upskill those working specifically in the field of green procurement in the built environment, applying efficient Green Procurement criteria and standards in order to better engage with green and energy challenges in construction works and consequently limit environmental impact, in a safe and sustainable manner.
