Energy Agency is organizing an event titled "Open Days for Sustainable
Energy" as part of the 3rd European Sustainable Energy Week (EUSEW
2009). The EUSEW is the key annual reference point for sustainable
energy issues in Europe. The events organised during EUSEW cover key
topics that highlight the multi-sector nature of sustainable energy
development and stress the need for everyone to work together towards
a common goal.
The activities planned for our event will be visits to dwellings where
renewable energy technologies have been already installed. During the
visits the house owners will open their houses to review the systems,
share their experiences with the attendees, and with the support of an
energy expert, the operation of the systems will be explained to the
participants. The visitors will have the opportunity to review the
system and ask questions and they will be given an information pack
with information about alternative energy technologies as part of the
visit.
Within the Cork County Area, the schedule of visits is as follows:
1. Saturday 24th January: Visit to a private house in Mallow with
solar thermal heating system (solar panels),
2. Saturday 31st January: Visit to the "Nano Nagle Centre" in
Ballygriffin where examples of biomass and solar integrated systems,
geothermal heat pump and small scale wind turbine will be shown,
3. Saturday 7th February: Visit to a private house in Castletownroche
with Solar thermal heating (solar panels) and Biomass boiler (wood
pellet).
Further information on the event and on the EUSEW initiative can be
