The Net Zero Show Ireland is brought to you by STEP CONNECT2, the organisers of Education Buildings Ireland, held in partnership with the Government of Ireland. For more information go to www.educationbuildings.ie.

Other events organised by STEP CONNECT2 include:

The built environment, comprising residential, public, and commercial sectors, accounted for 11.1% of Ireland’s greenhouse gas emissions in 2022, with fossil fuels supplying 72.6% of residential energy, mainly for heating. Decarbonising this sector requires coordinated efforts across society, supported by government regulations, funding, and incentives, as well as long-term policy clarity for stakeholders.

Transitioning to renewable energy will reduce emissions, enhance energy security, and mitigate rising costs, though challenges such as affordability and reliance on fossil fuel infrastructure remain significant. Energy efficiency, prioritised in the 2023 Energy Efficiency Directive, is key to reducing demand, with many households already adopting measures like insulation, smart technology, and heat pumps.
