REDUCE

ONLINE WORKSHOP 1

Identify & Eliminate Energy Waste

10:30am - 12:40pm, Sept. 24

WORKSHOP PURPOSE
This workshop module enables participants move from simply asking “Which technology should we buy?” to “What is the most rational, cost-effective way to reduce energy waste and transition to more efficient systems over time?”

PART 1

IDENTIFY AND MEASURE ENERGY WASTE

Supported by real-world examples, this session is designed to help organisations take control of their energy data and uncover hidden energy and cost saving opportunities. Participants will learn the best approach to assessing their current energy usage, identify critical energy waste gaps across buildings, equipment, processes, and understand when and how to engage external energy auditors for maximum value. The session also explores the full range of energy monitoring options, from basic billing data to advanced real-time and behind-the-meter systems, helping businesses choose the right level of insight without over-investing in unnecessary technology.

PART 2

MOVE FROM AUDIT DATA TO INVESTMENT DECISIONS

Supported by case studies and real-world examples, this session helps participants move beyond technical audit findings and turn them into clear, financially prioritised action plans. Rather than simply listing efficiency opportunities, the workshop introduces a structured decision-making framework that evaluates cost impact, payback period, implementation ease, operational disruption, and stranded asset risk. Participants will learn how to sequence actions logically, from no-cost operational improvements through to capital upgrades and deep retrofit decisions, ensuring investment choices are both financially sound and strategically aligned.

REPLACE

ONLINE WORKSHOP 2

Switch from fossil fuel heating to renewable alternatives

10:30am - 12:40pm, Oct. 8

WORKSHOP PURPOSE
This workshop helps participants evaluate how best to replace fossil fuel-based heating systems with renewable energy alternatives. It is designed to ensure investment decisions are based on real operational requirements and lifecycle cost logic, not assumptions or technology trends.

Stephen King

Founder and CEO of Energy Matters Ireland

PART 1

AUDIT CURRENT HEAT ENERGY DEMAND AND COSTS

Supported by real-world examples, this session builds a clear, understanding of how to gather current heat energy consumption and cost patterns, helping participants move from assumptions to evidence-based decision-making. Businesses will explore how and where heat is being used across their operations, when demand peaks occur, and how fuel choices and operational patterns are driving overall consumption. The workshop then translates this into a financial lens by analysing historical billing data, tariff structures, and cost volatility across the past year.

PART 2

SELECTION OPTIONS FOR FOSSIL FUEL HEATING REPLACEMENT

Supported by case studies and real-world examples, this session helps participants move from concept to confident technology selection. It explores the suitability of key low-carbon solutions including heat pumps, biomass, CHP/CCHP, and solar-enabled heating systems, while grounding each option in operational requirements, cost considerations, system compatibility, and long-term performance. The session explores hybrid transition strategies, recognising that many organisations will require phased approaches rather than full immediate replacement. The session concludes by linking heating system choices to smart control and integration opportunities.

ORCHESTRATE

ONLINE WORKSHOP 3

Produce, procure, store, and manage energy in a single smart connected system

10:30am - 12:40pm, Oct. 29

WORKSHOP PURPOSE
Enable business decision makers to select the right mix of grid supplied energy, behind the grid solar, storage, to provide demand flexibility using an integrated Smart Energy Management System (EMS) to reduce exposure to peak pricing, improve cost predictability, increase energy security and control.

PART 1

TRANSITION PATH AND SELECTION PROCESS

Supported by case studies and real-world examples, this session introduces the concept of “Orchestrating Energy”, moving beyond individual technologies to create a smart-connected energy system that produces, procures, stores, and manages energy. Participants will explore how solar generation, battery storage, CHP, and grid procurement can work together as an integrated portfolio rather than standalone investments, and how smart energy management systems enable coordination across all assets to optimise cost, carbon, and performance. The session reframes the energy transition from a series of separate technology decisions into a unified system design challenge.

PART 2

INTEGRATED PROCUREMENT AND DEMAND SHIFT STRATEGY

Supported by real-world examples, this session helps participants understand how energy procurement, tariffs, demand flexibility, and digital control systems come together within a single integrated framework. It also examines how smarter procurement strategies, including time-of-use and dynamic tariffs, combined with demand shifting and load flexibility can significantly reduce cost exposure, while improving operational efficiency. Ultimately, the session shows how integrating these elements into a smart managed system transforms energy from siloed decisions into a coordinated, intelligent system that reduces cost and increases flexibility.

MONETISE

ONLINE WORKSHOP 4

Find revenue opportunities and funding support for your clean energy assets

10:30am - 12:40pm, Nov. 12

WORKSHOP PURPOSE
This workshop helps participants shift their mindset from just asking “How do we reduce energy cost?” to “How do we monetise our energy assets?”. It enables businesses to identify how generation, storage, flexibility, and EV charging infrastructure can become revenue-generating or cost-offsetting assets. In the second part we go into detail on available grants and green finance opportunities.

PART 1

EVALUATE REVENUE OPPORTUNITIES

This workshop focuses on “Monetising Smart Energy Assets”, helping participants move beyond energy cost reduction to actively identifying new revenue streams from generation, storage, flexibility, and EV infrastructure. The workshop explores how businesses can transition from energy consumers to prosumers by leveraging underutilised capacity, participating in flexibility markets, and optimising assets such as batteries and on-site renewables for financial return rather than just savings. It also highlights opportunities in group energy models and EV charging as a commercial service, showing how energy systems can become revenue-generating assets when managed intelligently within a smart, flexible energy framework.

PART 2

FUNDING YOUR BUSINESS ENERGY TRANSITION

This session provides a practical overview of the funding and commercial pathways available to support clean energy investment. Participants will explore how SEAI and other grants can reduce upfront capital costs and improve project viability, alongside the growing role of green finance from banks and institutional lenders, including ESG-linked and performance-based lending models. The session also breaks down alternative delivery approaches such as CapEx, OpEx, leasing, and energy-as-a-service models, helping businesses understand how to structure projects in a way that balances cost, control, and flexibility. Participants will have a clearer view of which financial pathways best suit their energy transition plans.
