Programme Description

The aim of the Certificate in Residential Energy Retrofit Fabric programme is to up-skill building professionals to develop knowledge and skills that allow them to design and deliver high quality, energy-efficient retrofits to existing buildings while complying with Ireland’s latest

Building Regulations. This will also place them in a position to contribute to meeting Ireland’s climate action and energy targets in relation to green retrofitting of buildings. It will additionally boost demand for energy efficiency from householders and the public sector – Government and the public – by having a trusted industry professional/standard.

Over 12 weeks the student will understand the principles of building fabric technology and retrofit approaches, whilst finding solutions using digital tools to ensure compliance.
