Deep Energy Retrofit plan for the Enterprise Building Over the summer of 2023 and 2024 the Enterprise building in our North Mall campus will undergo a deep energy retrofit that will reduce the building's energy use by 60% while also providing a more comfortable environment for our students and staff. Under the HEA pathfinder program UCC applied for and secured 75% of the funding required to undertake the deep energy retrofit of the Enterprise building and install a ground source heating system. The HEA Pathfinder funding program seeks to test a range of building retrofit approaches to build evidence and capability in the sector, and to inform decisions as larger scale decarbonisation programmes are rolled out in the future.

We’re delighted to bring you the UCC Sustainability Research Seminar as part of our ongoing research event series with the Environmental Research Institute.
