Student Organising for Sustainability (SOS-UK) are running a FREE accredited Carbon Literacy course for students or recent graduates who are either studying energy management or wish to work in the sector.
Real world examples from RED WoLF, our innovative energy management system being tested across social housing across Europe, will be highlighted to show how aspiring energy managers can use their skills for environmental and social good.
Upon successful completion of the course, students will be awarded a Carbon Literacy certificate, which is widely recognised across many sectors, and a digital badge.
Following the training, students will have the opportunity to complete a CV-building micro-volunteering opportunity with RED WoLF, to further their knowledge and receive an additional certificate and letter of recommendation.
This opportunity is being offered as part of the RED WoLF project, funded through Interreg NWE

he Interreg North-West Europe project RED WoLF was again on display at the eirgrid roadshow. This time in the town of Carrigaline, Co. Cork on the 21st June 2023. Eirgrid operates Irelands and controls Irelands electricity network. The aim of the roadshow is to bring to the attention of the public new developments in the electricity network and efforts to decarbonise it. The RED WoLF project is cited as a very good example as to how consumers can make more use of low carbon electricity. Attendees at the event were very interested in what the RED WoLF system has to offer particularly the combination of low carbon electricity used to charge electric storage heaters. The picture shows Patricia Tobin of Cork City Council outlining the system to a member of the public. Read More

University College Cork hosted an energy awareness day for its staff on Wednesday the 15th March 2023. Cork City Council were invited to give a lunch time talk to staff about how best to reduce energy consumption in the home, the grants available in Ireland and how best to go about delivering and existing home to the required B2 energy efficiency standard. The council in its presentation gave details of other projects they were involved in including the Interreg North West Europe RED WoLF project. The project resnoinated with younger people and people living alone some of whom had inefficient electric storage heating systems and wanted to reduce their energy bill. These members of the audience could see how RED WoLF could not only reduce the CO2 content of the energy consumed in heating their home but also envisaged financial savings also. Read More
