One year on and our @EirGrid supported Ev meals&wheels van delivered its 5000th meal and has covered over 12000 km at a cost of €540. It has been a huge success for the service thanks to all our drivers,volunteers and #teamEirgrid#macroom

Great to see our #ireland2040 supported pathfinder project make a start on the ground. The deep energy retrofit of the Enterprise building is one of the many projects planned to meet our climate goals. Thanks to #HEA @UCCBandE and @uccBEES for getting us to this point
Enterprise building retrofit includes installation of double glazed windows, external insulation. heat recovery and ground source heat pump

Electrical figures for 21/22 are in, consumption back to pre COVID levels despite undertaking over 30 energy projects in the last 18 months, lots more to do thanks to team, suppliers, staff and students who continue to support, engage, challenge and inspire.

For the 4 energy geeks on my timelines (u know who u are), today was a good day, team picked up baseload spike in library overnight Wednesday, found and fixed today to avoid wastage,
Load typically reduces to almost 0 kwh for ventilation systems when library closes at 0130. Vsd went faulty and fan stayed on Tuesday morning. Picked up on morning baseload reviews and fixed Wed. 👌
