House of Tomorrow Programme
York Street, Dublin 2 |
The House of Tomorrow Programme, which was funded by the National Development Plan and managed by the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI), provided funding for developments which demonstrate good practice in energy efficiency.
The aim of the House of Tomorrow programme was to accelerate improvements in the quality of energy features in Irish housing. Its focus was to stimulate the widespread uptake of superior sustainable energy planning, design, specification and construction practices in new home building markets.
Codema co-ordinated the largest House of Tomorrow funded project in the country, where a grant of €500,000 was used for the refurbishment of 100 Dublin City Council social housing flats. The refurbishment involved 3 apartment blocks in three city centre locations at Bridgefoot Street, Ballybough and Queen Street.
Codema also co-ordinated two additional House of Tomorrow projects:
York Street: The redevelopment of a brownfield city centre site at York Street, off Stephen's Green, was a very important and high profile housing project for Dublin City Council. The redevelopment included 66 new council flats arranged in five blocks with communal spaces on the ground floor. Each block has a district heating system with a central condensing gas boiler. Domestic hot water is provided by 5 solar thermal panels with back-up from highly efficient gas boilers at peak loads.

Friar’s Lough, Leighlinbridge,
Co. Carlow:
This project, co-ordinated on behalf of ART Gillespie Development Ltd. consists of 4 and 5 bedroom masonry construction of detached type dwellings. The main aim of the project is to develop a cost effective and optimum insulated envelope and thereafter a low operational heating solution with security of fuel supply. An Air-to-Water Heat Pump system has been installed in each dwelling, all integrated to an underfloor heat distribution system at ground floor level and high output radiators at first floor level. Special attention has been given to minimise air leakage and thermal bridging.
