nZEB in Ireland – nZEB stands for Nearly Zero Energy Buildings, and it was introduced into the 2010 revised version of the EPBD (Energy Performance of Buildings Directive), which describes it is as a building with a very good energy performance, with a significant proportion of that energy achieved from on-site, or closely sourced renewable energies. All public buildings built after 31st December 2018 need to be built to nZEB standard, and all buildings built after 31st December 2020 must meet this standard. NZEB has now become an integral part of house construction in Ireland and we are currently working on an NZEB housing for Sligo County Council, which is a 10 house state of the art social housing project due for completion in November 2021. Sammon Builders supervisors, staff and subcontractors have completed recognised training by the Irish Green Building Council (of which we are members) and WWETB to ensure our staff are skilled to provide the require energy efficiency results on our projects.
