Closing the Data Gap: Energy Use in Commercial Buildings

Decarbonising Ireland’s commercial building stock is one of the country’s most pressing climate challenges. Yet progress is often hindered by a lack of reliable, real-world data on how commercial buildings actually perform in operation.

Join the Irish Green Building Council (IGBC) for an exclusive morning session exploring how better data can accelerate the decarbonisation of Ireland’s commercial buildings, support evidence-based decision-making, and strengthen the case for future investment in building performance.

Over the past year, IGBC has been working to address this challenge by developing practical tools and recommendations that will help improve access to operational energy data across the commercial property sector.

This event will bring together key stakeholders to discuss the next steps and how the industry can work collaboratively to build a stronger evidence base for energy performance in commercial buildings.

What You’ll Learn

During this session, attendees will:

• Learn about the IGBC’s Draft Position Paper on closing the energy data gap and how organisations can support this important initiative.
• Discover the pilot benchmark of energy use in Irish office buildings and its potential to improve understanding of real-world building performance.
• Explore opportunities to contribute to the ongoing development of this work.
• Discuss the next steps needed to accelerate the decarbonisation of Ireland’s commercial building stock.

Who Should Attend?

This event is particularly relevant for:

• Commercial Building Owners
• Property Managers and Managing Agents
