Our Managing Director, Adam Merriman, and Morgan James were delighted to attend this event hosted by the Irish Green Building Council (IGBC).

This event was a call to action for policymakers to prioritise sustainable construction practices while addressing issues around cost of living, nature, and climate. By focusing on green and sustainable building, we can transform residential spaces across Ireland into healthier, low-carbon environments, supporting both climate goals and an improved quality of life.

The IGBC presented a comprehensive policy framework, urging politicians to implement strategies that drive greener renovations, support energy efficiency, and promote buildings with lower environmental impacts.

The IGBC policy closely aligns with our commitment to advancing our clients’ ESG objectives through measurable, efficient, and cost-effective strategies.

Many thanks to Irish Green Building Council and Ellen McElligott Gill, MPA for organising the event, and Philip Lee LLP for hosting.

We’re delighted to have supported this year’s Newcastle Duathlon Community Day in Co. Wicklow! The event has become a key date in the local calendar, bringing together the local community for a fantastic day of activity, camaraderie, and giving back.

The funds raised from the event will make a meaningful impact, supporting several vital local organisations, including the Newcastle GAA Club and Newcastle First Responders. Their work is essential to the community’s health, safety, and well-being, and we’re happy to play a role in helping these organisations continue their invaluable efforts.

Congratulations to everyone who took part, from the dedicated participants to the incredible volunteers who made it all happen.

Energy Efficiency in action at Naas Retail Park!

Here’s a snapshot from our energy monitoring platform, showing live 5-minute interval data as we test our revised lighting strategy for the park. We’re already seeing promising results, with a 153 kWh reduction in energy consumption from 12:00 midnight to 6:30 am.

This real-time data enables us to measure the value of the initiatives and validate the energy savings achieved. It also allows us to fine-tune our approach to optimising energy performance and minimising unnecessary energy use.

This project is set to complete this week, and we look forward to sharing a full case study on our approach and results.

We are excited to announce our sponsorship of Rathangan GAA Juveniles Club with a brand-new set of jerseys! At Evia, we are dedicated to supporting local communities, and we believe there’s no better way than inspiring the next generation of athletes.

The juvenile club is also fortunate to have our very own Ger Clarke as a proud member!

Wishing Ger and the club the best of luck!!👏

Please see a recent snapshot from our energy monitoring platform, highlighting electricity consumption trends for a retail park we manage.

Our system continuously learns the asset’s energy patterns over time and alerts us when usage falls outside of the expected trend. As shown in the section circled in green, there was a notable deviation in consumption between 12:00 noon and 4:00 pm. Fortunately, this increase was planned as part of testing new strategies for an ongoing energy improvement project.

By leveraging this technology, we can identify unusual energy usage in real-time, optimise performance, and ensure that all actions contribute to our client’s energy reduction goals.

If it’s not measured, it’s not managed!

In addition to the recent appointment of Morgan James, we are delighted to introduce Lily—our newest Brand Ambassador 🐶!

Adam Merriman, Neil Bannon

Last week, we held a highly productive pre-start meeting ahead of commencing another Energy Improvement Pathway project at Naas Retail Park. Our team is excited to begin driving real energy savings and sustainability improvements for our client, Sigma Retail Partners.

By leveraging data from our energy monitoring platform, we developed a clear and effective strategy to reduce energy consumption by approximately 40%. The platform provided invaluable insights, allowing us to align energy usage with core operating hours and identify periods of excess consumption outside of peak times. These insights have enabled us to make small yet targeted changes that will drive substantial savings.

It is always satisfying to see how data-driven decisions and minor adjustments can create such a significant impact. We’ve enjoyed collaborating with Sigma and Bannon to develop a simple yet smart strategy to reduce energy consumption, and we look forward to seeing the energy, carbon, and cost savings unfold as the project progresses.

Wishing all our clients and colleagues a Happy World Green Building Week 2024! 🌍🌱

As we mark this important week, let’s focus on the World Green Building Council’s essential steps for building a sustainable future:

1. Reduce the environmental impact of buildings by lowering energy and material use.
2. Electrify buildings with clean, renewable energy sources.
3. Adapt to climate challenges with resilient, future-ready infrastructure.

Together, we can shape a greener, more sustainable world!
