Today, we have published a new research bulletin titled 'The impact of planning and regulatory delays for energy infrastructure'. ⚡ The research highlights how regulatory delays impact electricity prices, system emissions, and costs. esri.ie/publications/t…
The IES R&D team were delighted to participate at @sustainplaces 2024, delivering workshops on various EU research projects where IES is a partner👏 @AutoDAN_Project @justnatureproj1 @SMARTLAB_Lk @EU_MinorityRep 👉Learn more about IES R&D: bit.ly/3TI2yEG #SP2024
@SMARTLAB_Lk This is amazing! Great work - would love to hear more, I’ll have a good look at your website. 👏🏻👏🏻
As part of SMARTLAB, at least one limerick city school has CO2 monitoring in their classrooms!

Madeleine Lyes (UL) and Kieran Reeves (LCCC) presented lessons from SMARTLAB at the Science Summit at the 79th UN General Assembly in New York. Citizen engagement towards open and inclusive digital societies! @SEAI_ie
.@SMARTLAB_Lk has deployed smart sensors in 70 Limerick buildings to test the benefits smarter buildings can bring to Ireland’s energy future @UL researchers are working on how we can minimise our energy usage siliconrepublic.com/innovation/sma… #ResearchImpact #StayCurious #ResearchAtUL
Our project's Principal Investigator, Prof Stephen Kinsella, will continue to steer the team as he takes on the role of Chief Economics Advisor to the Taoiseach. Congratulations, Stephen!

The beautiful Hunt Museum is part of SMARTLAB's exploration of increased building smartness to support the energy transition. Here's our little u-value monitor hooked up below a Picasso!
We're hearing fascinating things from our SMARTLAB participants on the impact their sensors are having on future planning. It's giving us crucial insights into what will be required for a clean energy transition in Ireland:
Lovely to see SMARTLAB featured alongside some amazing projects in the UL Engage Report!
The complex reality of the energy transition in buildings is clear here. A living lab approach like that of SMARTLAB identifies and clarifies these complexities. m.independent.ie/irish-news/hom…
Every participant in the Limerick SMARTLAB project has their own dashboard, showing them their electricity use and their indoor environment, both live and over time. This information is giving people the power to make sound decisions about their building's future.
From museums to apartments, cafes to churches, houses to bars – throughout Limerick city centre, our team has been talking to people about why they got interested in joining the SMARTLAB project: youtu.be/LtLN1er5OIg @stephenkinsella @HelenaArchitect @Limerick_Leader
SMARTLAB drop-ins open all afternoon (until 5pm) at the Citizen Innovation Lab on Sarsfield St, in case you'd like to chat about the project. We've got about 2 weeks of open signups left, so if you've been thinking about applying, now is the time! smartlablimerick.ie
Good morning! The FabLab is closed at the moment, so there are no SMARTLAB drop-ins today. Please mail [email protected] if you'd like to get in touch. Installations continue, exciting times!
