SERVE – Sustainable Energy for the Rural Village Environment – Project Brochure

The SERVE project targets more than 400 buildings, existing and new, for energy efficiency and renewable energy measures. The SERVE region, home to this project, is a rural region, 600 km², 12,000 people, and 6,000 dwellings among which 60% were constructed pre-1981. The project led to the creation of a region in North Tipperary which is a leader in the implementation of sustainable energy actions.

The project achieved complete retrofitting actions in more than 350 homes and non-residential buildings which dramatically improved their energy performance with a reduction of energy consumption within existing residential buildings of 3.5 MWh/year. Another concrete result of the project is the increase in the production of renewable energy in existing dwellings from 660 to 2,300 MWh/year.

The results have been presented at the final conference of the project which took place last week (1-5 October) in Nenagh (North Tipperary). Job creation, new case studies and North Tipperary Cunty Council Councillors’ impressions are some of the contents you can also find on the new brochure.
