Dundalk, Ireland
Dundalk has set out on the road to being a sustainability pioneer. Located on the east coast of Ireland about halfway between Belfast and Dublin, the town is the site of Ireland´s first sustainable energy zone. This is an area of Dundalk where around 2,500 people live, 3,500 people work, and 5,850 people are in full-time education.
The CONCERTO approach
Implementation of the CONCERTO principles in Dundalk is very much based on the concept that “Integration is the Innovation”. Using this as guidance Dundalk has set ambitious targets of 20% renewable heat, 20% renewable electricity and 40% improvement in energy efficiency of selected buildings to be achieved. One of the main renewable technologies being put into place in Dundalk will be a biomass district heating system for residential and commercial buildings within the zone.
