Dublin residents will be given the opportunity to become ‘energy smart’ by attending free Home Energy Saving Information Evenings around the capital over the next couple of weeks, beginning with the Marine Hotel in Sutton on Monday, 15th March at 7:30pm.
Residents will be given an insight into the current energy standards of Dublin homes and they will also receive expert, independent advice on saving energy around the home. Homeowners who are interested in improving their homes’ energy performance will also learn about the benefits of joining an Energy Smart Community and getting work carried out as a cluster.
The Energy Smart Community is a not-for-profit scheme which allows homeowners to join together to improve the energy-efficiency of their homes at a lower price than going it alone. It works on the simple principle that by bringing homeowners together in a cluster, they can save on the cost and hassle of carrying out energy-efficiency improvements through a group tender process.
Codema offers membership to the Energy Smart Community for €99, which includes benefits such as co-ordinating the entire tender process from start to finish with contractors of the highest standard that have been thoroughly vetted by the energy agency. Codema will also provide the homeowner with independent, energy advice throughout the entire process, along with providing quality control measures when the work is carried out.
The information evenings will take place on the following dates:
- Sutton Area: Monday, 15th & 22nd March @ 7:30pm, Marine Hotel, Sutton Cross
- Ballinteer Area: Tuesday, 16th & 23rd March @ 7:30pm, Ballinteer Community School
- Phibsboro Area: Friday, 19th & 26th March @ 7:30pm, Phibsboro Scouts Hall (rear of public library)
