Do you know that 19% of the energy used in Irish homes goes to heating water? The energy consumption for hot water in newly built energy-efficient homes will often be greater than space heating Even as our homes become more airtight and better insulated, the demand for hot water remains the same.


    What will this course cover:

  • Learn the role of water efficiencies in reducing carbon emissions 
  • Understand the key principles of rainwater harvesting, greywater reuse
  • Learn how the unified water label is useful in relation to DEAP.
  • Examples of buildings with water-efficient strategies and learn how it is linked to energy efficiency.
  • The course will also introduce the EU Level[s] framework and the main concepts of indicator 3.1. How is the course delivered?
    Watch the on-demand videos in your own time, and attend a live Zoom session for any questions you have.
