Strokestown SEC Energy Master Plan is funded and supported by the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) as part of its Sustainable Energy Communities program
We have been commissioned to conduct an Energy Master Plan (EMP) for Strokestown SEC. This page will show updates to the plan, which will carry out an extensive survey of the community’s energy use in the home, community buildings, transport, business, and agriculture. The finished EMP will also include recommendations for energy efficiencies, energy generation, and fossil fuel reductions to help make the Strokestown region more sustainable.
An Energy Master Plan helps communities understand the energy demand and supply. Every community is encouraged to look at energy efficiency first. This is because energy efficiency work is typically low risk and has high payback. The Energy Master Plan is also a live record of the community’s energy status and achievements. It will evolve to form the foundation for other applications and projects. For more information on the SEAI’s Energy Master Plan initiative, please go to this link
Free BER and Energy Upgrade Report
We would like to thank all those who participated in the request for homes to receive a BER and Energy Upgrade report. The homes to be studied have been chosen and the owners notified.
Check your Carbon Footprint
Although the EMP is focussed on energy saving and carbon emissions reduction, sustainability can be affected by other things we all do. We devised Ireland’s only carbon footprint app as part of the ClimateConnected project. Try it out here and see what changes you could make for the better.
BER Advisory Report
This is a report on the measures that you could take to reduce your energy use and the carbon footprint of your home, amd to improve your BER.

A Building Energy Rating Certificate, BER
This is an assessment of the building fabric and the heating systems of your home to establish a ‘state of play’ picture in relation to the energy required to supply hot water, to light and to keep your home at confortable temperatures.
