Welcome to the DCU Sustainable Energy Community

Taking the hassle out of making your home more energy-efficient

Sustainability DCU, in partnership with the SEAI, is here to support you to make energy efficiency improvements to your home.

The DCU Sustainable Energy Community (SEC) facilitates a one-stop shop where you can find out about:

types of upgrades you can make to your property
different technologies and their suitability for your home energy needs
available grants and how to apply
- Warmer Home Scheme : For homeowners who receive certain welfare payments
- Home Energy Grants: For all homeowners
additional funding options
how to find an energy professional in your area.

Not sure where to start?

The first step is to assess your home’s energy efficiency – there are two ways of doing this.

Borrow a Home Energy Savings Kit from DCU Sustainability – just ask us – or from your local library. These kits help you assess how you use energy and where you might be wasting it through poor ventilation or certain appliances, for example.
Alternatively, engage a professional to carry out a home energy report on your dwelling.
