Leading from the ground-upwards
With the government missing the boat being pushed out by the rest of the world rallying to stave off climate change, home owners, builders and prospective buyers are leading the way in carbon reduction. The market follows close behind. Two new courses on Green Building will help sort through the options of saving energy, reducing our carbon footprints, and plugging the leaks. Don't wait for government to lead the way. The future is here now. Irish residents take on Climate Change and Energy Security.... One Home at a Time
Sometimes leadership comes from the bottom up. In the case of Ireland's response to the twin challenges of oil depletion and climate change, the impetus may be coming from the wallet or from a broader concern over the effects of our nation's relatively large carbon footprint. Either way, this particular response is being led by individual home owners, builders and prospective home buyers. And the market is following closely behind, providing a wealth of energy saving, lower carbon solutions which have recently found a warm reception here in Ireland. Buildings consume 40% of the world’s energy every year and generate almost half of the carbon dioxide emissions that cause global warming. Cultivate Centre, Temple Bar continues its focus on Climate Change and Energy with the following courses.
Improving the Energy Efficiency of our Homes
Cultivate Green Building Forum with Duncan Stewart
Saturday March 31st | 10am - 6pm | €50

Themes include: • Exploring the Carbon Footprint of our Homes • Energy Audits & Ratings • Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy Systems • Future Proofing Our Homes
Experts in the fields of green building, insulation options, ecological design and renewable energy systems will join Duncan to help you make the right choices: • Emer O’Siochru • Gerry McCaughey • Kirk Shanks • Aodhan MacPhaidin
• Patrick Daly • Joe Hayden • Brian O’Mahony • Joseph Little • Mike Haslam
• Patrick Waterfield • Sally Starbuck • Colm Murray • Niall Crosson

The Energy Efficient Home with Patrick Waterfield
Thursdays from April 5th - May 10th | 7.30 - 9.30pm | In association with The Village and ÉASCA
€150 (€120 for Cultivate Members and €135 for Village and ÉASCA members)
With legislation to reduce carbon emissions on the horizon, new energy directives for our buildings and the likelihood of ever increasing energy costs in the future, there has never been a better time to energy proof our homes.
This course uses Patrick's popular book 'The Energy Efficient Home' as the core reading. By the end of this series participants will have the confidence and knowledge to make the big decisions in managing a new build or renovation.
Based in Northern Ireland, Dr Patrick Waterfield is a Chartered Engineer and a Fellow of the Energy Institute. He is the author of 14 conference and journal papers and numerous periodical/magazine articles. His first book, "The Energy Efficient Home" is currently one of the best sellers in Cultivate's shop.
