£2.2 million

State-of-the-art, multi-purpose building specifically designed for use by the local community, offering first class leisure and education facilities.

Girdwood subsequently received the accolade of ‘Community Benefit Project Of The Year’ at the Property Industry Excellence Awards in Dublin.

The project also achieved a BREEAM Excellent rating.

LTHW, serving the underfloor heating, is fed from an impressive 1.2 miles of ground source pipework concealed below the outdoor pitch producing 137kW of heat.

Solar thermal for domestic hot water and the use of rainwater harvesting adds to the sustainable M&E installation.

A bespoke low energy ventilation system has been installed, reducing energy usage. Which is further offset by the photovoltaic installation resulting in a carbon neutral installation.
