Cox’s Demesne
The Cox’s Demesne Regeneration Scheme will battle it out today for one of Europe’s top energy awards.
The scheme is nominated for an ‘Ace Award’ for its work in improving the energy efficiency of homes.
The awards are taking place in Arnhem in the Netherlands.
Dundalk Town Council carried out energy-efficiency upgrades on more than 600 homes in the estate, which included energy-efficient insulation, boiler installations, draught-proofing and the installation of heating controls.
Many of the homes in the estate have seen their BERs increase from an E2 rating to a C1 rating as a result of the scheme.
All of the work was carried out free-of-charge by the local authority and private residents from the area thanks to a unique Public Private Partnership between the local authority, the SEAI and Electric Ireland.
Project manager Stephen Cull is attending the ceremony on behalf of the council.
