SouthCoast carried out an extensive project for Cork County Council whereby it upgraded the energy rating of over a hundred of their houses in the West Cork area. The work involved carrying out detailed surveys of each of the houses and subsequently proceeding with the most appropriate energy saving activity.
SouthCoast undertook work practices such as:
- external wall insulation
- pumped cavity wall insulation
- attic insulation
- draught proofing
- lagging jackets
- pipework insulation
- boiler and heating control upgrades
SouthCoasts’ Engineers signed off this work on completion. All of this work was grant aided by the SEAI, therefore allowing both the council and house owners of private dwellings to be reimbursed under the Better Energy Homes Scheme. This programme of work increased the councils housing stock to high standards of energy efficiency, thereby reducing fossil fuel use, running cost and greenhouse gas emission.
