UCD Belfield Energy Management

This project focuses on energy management at University College Dublin, addressing issues of security of supply, cost competitiveness, and environmental sustainability. With a comprehensive approach covering energy consumption, electricity sources, CHP systems, district heating, and demand-side management, the program aims to reduce energy usage and emissions. The implementation of web-based monitoring, training, and awareness campaigns has shown significant energy savings and CO2 reductions. The project also involves energy monitoring applications to control heating, ventilation, lighting, water, and alarms. Through ongoing initiatives, stakeholder engagement, research, and sustainable design inputs, UCD is committed to enhancing energy efficiency and environmental responsibility in its infrastructure.
