She w ill highlight SEAI’s Rapid Approval Energy Efficiency Grants and other k ey initiatives designed to help SMEs take practical steps toward sustainab ility. Attendees will gain insights into the application process\, eligibi lity criteria\, and the types of projects that can benefit from SEAI fundi ng. Whether you're just starting your energy journey or looking to scale u p your efforts\, this talk will equip you with the knowledge and tools to take action.\n\nIn second part\, Aidan Condell will talk about EEOS (Ener gy Efficiency Obligation Scheme). This is a government scheme in Ireland d esigned to drive energy efficiency improvements across homes\, businesses\ , and communities. It's a key mechanism for Ireland to meet its national a nd European energy saving targets.\n\nUnder the EEOS\, the largest energy suppliers and distributors in Ireland are legally required to achieve annu al energy efficiency targets. These companies are known as "Obligated Part ies."\n\nObligated Parties can meet their targets by financially and/or te chnically supporting homeowners\, businesses\, and communities to carry ou t energy efficiency upgrades. For every unit of energy saved through these projects\, the Obligated Parties earn energy credits towards their annual goal.\n\nThe SEAI acts as the administrator of the EEOS.\nSustainability is more than compliance or environmental\, social\, and governance (ESG) r eporting\; it will reshape your competitive advantage.\nCase Study\n\nHear from John Gavin from Shannon Springs Hotel who has received funding and s upport from SEAI to reduce costs and carbon emissions. It’s an easy win! Supported by SEAI\, Shannon Springs undertook a comprehensive retrofit pr oject. This included switching out oil boilers for air-to-water heat pumps \, installing split AC units to replace electric heating\, installing Sola r PV\, energy metering\, new pumps and booster set upgrades.\n\nFull story ->\; https://www.seai.ie/case-studies/easy-wins\nRegistration is from 1 0.45 am and event will start at 11.00 am\nThis event is Free of charge\, b ut please register online to secure your place!  ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.shannonchamber.ie/wp-content/uploads /2025/07/005261-SC-Sustainability-768x506-Graphic.jpg CATEGORIES:Events LOCATION:Centre of Excellence\, Ei Electronics\, Shannon Industrial Estate\ , Shannon\, Ireland GEO:52.7034519;-8.900727200000006 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Shannon Industrial Estate\, Shannon\, Ireland;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Centre of Excellence\, Ei El ectronics:geo:52.7034519,-8.900727200000006 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Europe/Dublin X-LIC-LOCATION:Europe/Dublin BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20250330T020000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0000 TZOFFSETTO:+0100 TZNAME:IST END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
