Donna Gartland, Senior Energy Planner at Codema and CEO of the recently-established Irish District Energy Association, and John O’Shea, Energy Systems Analyst at Codema, discussed the points above and answered the questions of the participants.
This webinar is a must for all public sector staff working in areas such as planning, architecture, climate change, engineering, facilities management, finance and procurement. It is also a great opportunity for those working in the energy, commercial and construction sectors to gain an insight into the emerging district heating market in Ireland and gain an understanding of the role they might play in future public or public-private schemes.
