Confused about Renewable Energy? – Attend Ashgrove Renewables Free Open Day in Galway

This is just a quick explanation about our upcoming Open Day which is on in The Galway Bay Hotel, Salthill on Saturday 20th April 2013. We plan to have a morning and an afternoon session.

If you are interested in getting information on renewable technologies, we will be doing a short presentation followed by a visit to a domestic house with Geothermal and Underfloor Heating. This systems is up and running and we now have annual running costs which we will cover on the day. Attached are some case studies/running costs of the different renewable heating options.

Reason for Open Day

Our customers have been requesting for some time for us to give some clarity in this otherwise ambiguous area of Renewable Energy. Most people are really confused and worried about what might be the most suitable technology for them and their project. There is so much conflicting information in this industry it is hard to distinguish good from bad advice.

Aim of Open Day

To explain how various technologies work

Pros and Cons of each

How to ensure success of a system from the planning stage

Critical Design Considerations

Each project has a number of critical areas, which will result in either success or failure in the eventual system. We will explain some of these and show how seemingly small issues can have an enormous knock-on effect.

Who should attend?

Architects

Engineers

Quantity Surveyors

Renewable energy grew by 15% per annum for five years up to 2009

According to the annual Energy in Ireland report from The Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI), renewable energy in Ireland grew by an average of 15% per annum from 2005 to  2009. In parallel, 2009 witnessed a steady trend towards lower energy prices in Ireland for both domestic and business energy users.

Launched at an event in Dublin in December, the report, Energy in Ireland 1990-2009 shows that in addition to the decline in economic activity, increased energy efficiency and the consistent growth of renewables on the national grid contributed to a significant decline in energy-related CO₂ emissions in 2009 of 11%.

The report also shows that overall energy use declined by 9% in 2009, with sectors such as industry at 13%, services at 12% and transport at 10% witnessing the greatest fall.

Launching the report, Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources, Eamon Ryan T.D. said: “I am encouraged by the findings of the latest Energy in Ireland report, particularly to see renewable energy grow at a time when energy prices are falling for both business and domestic consumers. Contrary to some perceptions, Ireland’s position in terms of energy prices relative to the rest of Europe continues to improve, with prices for many consumers now below the EU average.”

Minister Ryan concluded: “By continuing to reduce wasteful use of energy in our homes and businesses, and by making much fuller use of our natural energy resources, we can dramatically improve our competitiveness, our energy security and reduce our exposure to volatile fuel prices.”

Commenting on the report, SEAI Chief Executive Professor Owen Lewis said: “Energy in Ireland 1990-2009 reflects important trends in our approach to, and management of, energy demand and supply in Ireland.  We are seeing some positive results shine through as renewable energy continues to grow and energy efficiency continues to improve across all sections of society. As energy becomes more central to enterprise and our economy, it is increasingly important for us to keep a close eye on the emerging trends.”

Ashgrove Renewables slash 61% off of annual heating bill

Ger Moroney approached Ashgrove to upgrade his existing heating system at his home in Co. Clare. His 230m² home’s original heating system was installed in November 2005, consisting of an oil boiler and two floors of underfloor heating, utilising weather compensating control. A survey revealed his annual heating bill to be approximately € 1,815. Ashgrove installed a 12kW Geothermal Heat Pump with two vertical borehole collectors in August 2008. This unit now provides heating & hot water. A dedicated ESB meter was fitted to the unit to monitor running costs. Over the following 12 months the running cost was calculated at € 722. The client realised a direct saving of € 1,093, or 61% of the previous years running costs.
