Case Study: Marino College cuts emissions by 50% with Centrica Business Solutions

Marino College cuts emissions by 50% with Centrica Business Solutions

Marino College, a secondary school in Dublin, faced the challenge of improving its poor Building Energy Rating (E1) and reducing high energy consumption. They partnered with Centrica Business Solutions to implement a range of energy efficiency upgrades funded through an SEAI pilot scheme, aiming to create a more comfortable learning environment.

Centrica Business Solutions designed and installed a package of high-impact measures including external wall insulation, roof insulation, a new high-efficiency heating system with improved controls, and LED lighting. They also deployed Panoramic Power wireless sensors for detailed energy insights. This solution successfully improved the college's BER rating to B3, resulting in a 50% reduction in both energy consumption and carbon emissions, while creating a more comfortable and improved environment for staff and students.
