This retrofit is the first of ten Tuath homes to receive substantial energy upgrades, aligning with our commitment to sustainability and innovation. In addition to the EPS panel, the home now features:
We are proud to be at the forefront of sustainable housing solutions in Ireland, demonstrating the potential of low-carbon construction materials and innovative retrofitting techniques. We look forward to continuing the successful implementation of Circular Reno, a transformative initiative under the Sustainability Interreg North-West Europe programme.
