As part of the Reduce Your Use campaign, the public sector has made a concerted effort to lead by example by cutting back on the amount of energy it uses.
Over winter 2022/2023, the Government required all public bodies to commit to saving between 5-10% of their energy use across all operations, and up to 15% in their buildings.
The Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) and the Office of Public Works (OPW) developed a staff energy awareness campaign across public organisations to achieve these energy-saving goals.
The Initiative focuses on taking action in the short term, while implementing measures that will set public sector organisations on a pathway towards achieving their 2030 energy efficiency and decarbonisation targets.
