Energy use in Ireland
• Fossil fuels accounted for 96% of all energy use in Ireland in 2007
• We import almost 90% of our primary energy demands
• In these tough economic times we spend €6bn on energy imports!
![Page 4: Sustainable Energy Authority Of Ireland](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081400/55507588b4c9052d158b4e4f/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Energy efficiency is recognised as one of the most cost-effective ways to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels
~90%

National planning• Action Plan sets energy efficiency
targets for business (20% reduction
by 2020)
• Roadmap for delivery of targets is
set-out
• Addresses 3 pillars of policy
– Competitiveness
– Security of Supply
– Environment

Natural gas supply sources
Over half of Ireland’s electricity is generated from gas

Energy Prices: Oil
28th August 2008: $147per Barrel
![Page 8: Sustainable Energy Authority Of Ireland](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081400/55507588b4c9052d158b4e4f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Environmental issues• Real concern that human activities will
change the basic conditions that have allowed life to thrive on Earth
• Overwhelming scientific agreement
• Still some uncertainty about:– Scope– Scale – Timing
![Page 9: Sustainable Energy Authority Of Ireland](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081400/55507588b4c9052d158b4e4f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The case
• Service delivery– Reducing costs, doing more with less, cash flow savings
• Security of supply– Price security
• Environmental Protection– Increasing legislation (Best available techniques, carbon tax etc) – Emissions Trading (EU ETS)– Integrated Pollution and Prevention Licences (IPPC)– Building Energy Rating (BER)– Energy Using Products Directive– Energy Services Directive
![Page 10: Sustainable Energy Authority Of Ireland](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081400/55507588b4c9052d158b4e4f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
More for less
• Energy efficiency is about delivering the same service or activity but using less energy
• Energy efficiency means behavioural change with respect to energy wastage

Reducing energy waste at home
• Where does the energy go?
![Page 12: Sustainable Energy Authority Of Ireland](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081400/55507588b4c9052d158b4e4f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Reducing energy waste at home
• This is a 2 bar electric fire – Each bar uses
approximately 1 kWh of energy if left on for one hour
![Page 13: Sustainable Energy Authority Of Ireland](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081400/55507588b4c9052d158b4e4f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Reducing energy waste at home
• Consider measuring your ‘live’ energy use – Easy to install meters give instant
feedback on energy consumption and costs

Appliances
Power of One: Case StudyThe Heffernan FamilySaving €332 per year

Reducing energy waste at home• Invest to save
– Appliances: Only buy ‘A’ rated energy labelled products – Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs): These use a fraction of the
electricity of an ordinary light bulb and last up to 10 times longer. – Insulation: Insulating your attic and walls could save you 30-
40% on your home heating bill. Visit www.seai.ie/hes for information on the Home Energy Saving scheme grants that can help.
– Heating System Upgrade: The Home Energy Saving scheme will also grant aid high efficiency boilers and heating control improvements.

Reducing energy waste at work
Exactly the same principles as at home• Reduce loads on the power systems• Switch off equipment when its not needed, at the end of the day or
over lunch breaks, this includes lights,vending machines, heating and cooling etc.

Reducing energy waste at work
• Example: Medical insurance Group, Pacificare, developed an energy awareness campaign for its 380 staff in Letterkenny and saved 15% of its annual energy costs.– The only investment was €55 on two plug-in energy watt-
meters
