Energy Action, and Bryson House
Main objectives of the project
- To provide an energy advisor to support the development and
implementation of an energy efficiency project in St Finian's
Estate (Drogheda), including the training of a local energy
adviser to certification standard.
- To develop the energy advice and schools education within
the St Finian's Estate.

literature including energy efficiency appliance leaflets (with
ESB support).
- To prepare and implement a pilot Irish Energy Rating programme
for the local energy adviser to be used on the local housing
stock. Energy Advisor will be trained as an energy auditor.
- To encourage and support further Border community based energy
efficiency projects sharing the Drogheda experience and developing
a DIY guide to facilitate community projects' adoption of similar
energy programmes, and produce a community energy plan for one
project.

2000
Energy Action and Bryson House
This initiative aims to pilot the use of solar water heating systems
in "typical" social housing in both N Ireland and the ROI and
monitor its performance over a full year.
It is proposed that Thermomac Vacuum Tube Solar Collectors be
installed in 6 houses (3 in both NI and ROI). It is suggested
that the installation be arranged in either houses at the new
stage or when central heating is being installed. It is further
suggested that similar houses be used as a control for monitoring
purposes. A report will be produced detailing the results of the
project. Regular result updates will be included on Belfast Energy
Agency's web site.

IHER SAVE 2 project
2000
Energy Action, UCD, NES( UK), Alembic Research (UK)
Objective The aim of this Irish Home Energy Rating scheme (IHER)
project is to develop the IHER scheme for labelling domestic dwellings
in Ireland by transferring the basis of the scheme from one developed
by National Energy Services that is used extensively in the UK.
The transferring the scheme the intention is to modify it to be
appropriate for Irish conditions. The specific goals of the project
were to
- produce a user-friendly, menu driven computer package for
assessing the energy performance of existing dwellings. It will
complement the system for the rating of new dwellings in Ireland
by incorporating the Heat Energy Rating method within the calculation
algorithms.
- produce the relevant training manuals for trainers and end
users.
- promote the IHER scheme to potential end users in Ireland
via a series of one-day seminars.
