This bundle, representing a single tender competition, will comprise up to 5 schools located in counties Longford and Westmeath. This initiative aims to reduce CO2 emissions in schools by piloting biomass boiler projects, complete with a fuel store, will be housed in a prefabricated energy cabin, which will be craned into a location adjacent to the existing school boiler house. Where required, the existing heating plant will be upgraded to fully modulating plant and controls to ensure optimisation of the decarbonised heating systems. Where oil is the existing primary fuel, this will be removed and replaced by LPG / Natural Gas to act as a supporting / backup to the school and the Biomass Heating System. The school will enter into a heat purchase agreement with the Energy Supply Company that supplies the Energy Cabin.
