Eyre Square, Galway City,
No registration Required (Free).
From Thursday 25 to Sunday 28 June, Eyre Square will play host to the Mount Lucas Retrofitting Rig – a fully equipped mobile Nearly Zero Energy Buildings (NZEB) unit to deliver training on energy upgrades and retrofitting in communities across Ireland. The mobile rig will be based in Eyre Square, with free, open tours available throughout the week for anyone interested in retrofitting their home.
The NZEB Retrofitting Rig was developed by the Laois Offaly Education and Training Board and the National Construction Training Campus at Mount Lucas. The mobile training unit is powered by solar PV panels and includes a working heat pump and ventilation system, making it entirely self-sufficient and a showcase for emerging technologies.
