Projects & Initiatives
Advancing Sustainability Through Research and Innovation
The Irish Green Building Council delivers a wide range of national and internationally funded initiatives aimed at advancing sustainability in the built environment. These span from decarbonising Ireland’s construction sector to fostering circularity and biodiversity. Through close collaboration with industry and academia, we produce high-quality research, tools, and resources that support a greener industry and inform policy development.
Over the years, our work has been supported by leading organisations and agencies, including the Laudes Foundation, IKEA Foundation, SEAI, the Department of Housing, the Department of Environment, the Housing Agency, EPA, Enterprise Ireland, and many more.
