Why District Energy Matters 

District heating and cooling provides an opportunity to transform how buildings are heated and cooled by connecting multiple users to a shared network of heat sources.

These networks can make use of renewable energy, recovered waste heat and other low-carbon sources, supporting more efficient energy use and contributing to Ireland's climate objectives.

IrDEA works to support the development of this sector through industry collaboration, policy engagement, knowledge sharing and skills development.
