Laois County Council is delighted to support the NZEB and Retrofit Mobile Training Rig for Energy Awareness Week. The rig will be stationed in the upper car park of Laois Shopping Centre, near the Old Ulster Bank premises. The week promises to offer an exciting array of activities and information throughout the week.
On Monday and Tuesday, electric car owner Nick will share his experiences with electric and hybrid vehicles, providing valuable insights for those considering making the switch. Throughout the week, representatives from two One-Stop-Shops, KORE Retrofit and Electric Super Homes Ireland, will be present to offer expert advice on energy-efficient home improvements.
We will have a launch for the week, at the Old Fort Tuesday evening around 7pm. Tickets are limited and available on Eventbrite.
Laurence from SEAI will be available on the rig to inform the public about various grants and schemes that can support energy-saving projects. Additionally, local lending institutions will be on hand to provide advice on green loans, helping to make these sustainable changes more affordable.
If you’re interested in solar energy, don’t miss the opportunity to meet Nigel and Paul from AEI on Wednesday and Thursday. They will be offering a special promotion: eight solar panels for the price of six, exclusively for Energy Awareness Week.
For those looking to deepen their understanding of NZEB (Nearly Zero Energy Buildings), consider registering for the LOETB course on Thursday, hosted by The CUBE. Tickets are available through EventBrite. LOETB will also be running a workshop titled “An Introduction to Circular Economy,” providing a comprehensive overview of sustainable practices that can benefit both the environment and the economy.
This week promises to be an engaging and informative experience, with something for everyone interested in energy efficiency and sustainability.
