The Centre was officially opened by then Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science Simon Harris T.D in 2022 and is co-located onsite in Bishopstown Campus.
The 1,000 square metre training facility provides skills training for individuals who are unemployed and for individuals currently working in construction wishing to upskill. The centre contributes significantly to national policy priorities on Housing for All including housing construction, retrofitting of homes, and carbon reduction. This is in line with the Government target of retrofitting 500,000 homes in Ireland by 2030.
What is NZEB?
Nearly Zero – Energy Buildings (NZEB) means a building that has a very high energy performance. In an NZEB building “the nearly zero or very low amount of energy required should be covered to a very significant extent by energy from renewable sources, including energy from renewable sources produced on-site or nearby”.
Who should do an NZEB course?
NZEB courses are suitable for all those who work in construction.
