The Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland’s (SEAI) Energy Show 2015 takes place at the RDS, Dublin on Wednesday 25 and Thursday 26 March. This annual two-day business event, which will bring together over 160 suppliers of sustainable energy products and services, is the premier energy trade exhibition in Ireland and a must for anyone interested in learning about the latest energy-saving technologies. Visitors to the 2015 Energy Show can learn how to maximise energy savings with solutions ranging from building energy-management systems for large premises to time and temperature controls for small- and medium-sized enterprises, and from heat recovery systems to high-efficiency boilers and lots in between. In addition to the exhibition, the Show will feature best-practice retrofit demonstration areas, networking opportunities with international markets, an electric vehicle pavilion and a wide range of free workshops, seminars and briefing events. This year a new SEAI Energy Theatre will be located in the Main Hall, with free talks updating attendees on the latest policy and market developments in energy efficiency and renewable energy. Topics will include briefings on the latest energy statistics for Ireland and their implications for business, new energy management standards, how to maximise tax incentives like the Accelerated Capital Allowances, BER workshops and best practice in energy efficiency for all business sectors. This packed agenda is free to all visitors and sessions will be available for pre-booking on www.seai.ie/energyshow. Last year, the Energy Show brought together 3,700 visitors and many availed of the opportunity to link up with international markets. Representatives from a host of worldwide embassies and trade organisations will be available to meet with Irish companies to discuss business opportunities abroad. This represents a unique international networking opportunity and is a platform to develop overseas business and contacts. For businesses looking to expand their operation, they can meet with trade representatives from America, Argentina, Brazil, Britain, Canada, China, Czech Republic, France, Israel, Portugal, Romania, Saudi Arabia and Spain. Countries will be present at scheduled times and full details are on the website. The Energy Show is an ideal opportunity for anyone interested in energy efficient design and sustainability, from small business to large industry and from public bodies to community organisations, to witness the latest innovations in the energy sector and to participate in open debates on the future of sustainable and renewable energy in Ireland. The SEAI Energy Show is a free business exhibition and will run on Wednesday 25 and Thursday 26 March from 10am to 6pm. For further details, visit www.seai.ie/energyshow.
