Project Management

The Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland’s (SEAI) Better Energy schemes are Ireland’s national retrofit initiative aimed at upgrading building stock and facilities to high standards of energy efficiency and renewable energy usage, thereby reducing fossil fuel usage, energy costs and greenhouse emissions. As part of this initiative, SEAI launched the Better Energy Community and Area Based pilot schemes in 2012.

The SEAI BEC scheme’s key objectives are as follows:

• Achieve progress towards the 2020 National Sustainable Energy targets.
• Improve the thermal and electrical efficiencies of building stock and facilities, encourage the implementation of deeper and more technically / economically challenging measures.
• Provide cost effective and innovative partnership approaches to deliver sustainable energy projects of scale that will continue to build momentum within the community and region.
• Stimulate employment activity through labour intensive sustainable energy upgrading projects.

EnviroBead initially partnered with SEAI on the Better Energy schemes in 2012, and in the intervening years  has remained a committed supporter of the BEC schemes, successfully completing numerous projects for a variety of clients.

Since the inception of the SEAI BEC scheme, EnviroBead has developed successful partnerships with SEAI, Utility Companies, Housing Associations, Charity Organisations, Community Based Organisations, Local Authorities and Private Industry.
