Driving Ireland’s Transition with Sustainable Heat Networks
Customised Solutions for Urban and Sector-Specific Applications
At Entrust Services, we specialise in designing efficient and sustainable heat networks tailored to meet the unique needs of each locality. In urban environments, our projects seamlessly integrate renewable technologies into dense building clusters, optimising energy use and supporting local and national decarbonisation goals. For less concentrated areas, we develop innovative, community-focused energy solutions that deliver meaningful environmental and economic benefits.
Entrust Services’ Approach to Heat Networks in Ireland
At Entrust Services, we bring extensive knowledge of the regulatory landscape and environmental constraints that may affect your project. Our services ensure that your heat network meets national standards regarding planning and environmental matters, delivering results that are sustainable and compliant.
Our services include:
Strategic Planning Policy Support:
Our team provides guidance on navigating national and local planning policies, ensuring that your heat network aligns with policy objectives while meeting the expectations of all stakeholders.
Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA):
We conduct rigorous assessments to identify potential environmental effects and find ways to mitigate them while ensuring each project’s alignment with environmental regulations.
Landscape & Visual Impact Assessments (LVIA):
We assess potential visual impacts the network will have on the surrounding environment, ensuring plans integrate well within Ireland’s unique landscapes and local communities.
Tailored Sector-Specific Reports:
Our customised reports ensure compliance with statutory bodies, including sector-specific guidelines to meet local governance.
Ecology Services:
We offer a comprehensive range of ecological consultancy services to help clients meet their planning and environmental requirements while promoting sustainability and biodiversity.
Multi-Criteria Analysis for Constraints and Opportunities:
We provide quantified, data-driven analyses to evaluate project constraints and identify opportunities. By incorporating technical, environmental and economic factors, we help optimise your project’s design and execution.
Strategic Planning and Implementation for Low-Carbon District Heating Systems
Our Experience
The projects that we have worked on to date were initiated to address the urgent need for sustainable heating solutions in line with Ireland’s Climate Action Plan. Typically, an energy centre will support the decarbonisation efforts of a locality by centralising heat generation and distribution through a district heating network. This then delivers low-carbon heat to anchor buildings, including schools, hotels, hospitals and commercial establishments, ensuring compliance with both local and national climate goals.
