Driving Efficiency &
Sustainability in Business
Energy costs are a major expense for businesses, and rising prices, regulations and sustainability expectations make efficiency more important than ever. At Tipperary Energy Agency, we help farms and SMEs cut operating costs, improve energy performance and access funding for upgrades. An energy audit is the first step, giving a clear picture of how a building uses energy and where savings can be made. Our work with businesses includes solar PV, HVAC, heat pumps, retrocommissioning and insulation across offices, warehouses and other facilities.

Non-domestic BER
Non-Domestic Building Energy Rating (NDBER) is a rating system used to assess the energy performance of non-domestic buildings in Ireland. The BER certificate shows the annual primary energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions associated with space heating, water heating, ventilation, lighting, and any related pumps or fans.
Learn more about non-domestic BERs here.
Measurement & Verification
We provide Measurement & Verification (M&V) feasibility studies to assess how energy savings can be accurately measured and verified, ensuring your project delivers demonstrable performance improvements.
Learn more about M&V here.
Energy Efficient Design
Energy Efficient Design (EED) is a structured approach to managing energy performance throughout the development and delivery of retrofit, renovation and new construction projects.
Learn more about Energy Efficient Designs here.
HVAC & Chillers
Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems, including commercial chillers, play a critical role in maintaining comfortable, safe and efficient environments in offices, retail spaces, manufacturing facilities, data centres and other commercial buildings. Our experienced engineering team can assess your existing HVAC and chiller systems to identify opportunities for improved efficiency, reduced running costs and enhanced performance.
Learn more about HVAC & Chillers here.
Building Management System (BMS) & Energy Management System (EMS)
A Building Management System enhances comfort, efficiency and control by integrating key building services, such as heating, cooling and ventilation into a single management platform. An Energy Management System focuses on monitoring and analysing a building’s energy use. Our team provides a comprehensive assessment of your building to determine the most effective combination of Building Management Systems and/or Energy Management Systems based on your operational needs, building size and energy efficiency goals.
Learn more about BMS & EMS here.
Solar PV
Solar Photovoltaics (PV) is a technology that converts daylight directly into electricity that can be used to power your business. Our experienced team of engineers will assess whether Solar PV is technically and financially feasible for your business.
Learn more about Solar PV for your business here.
Retro-commissioing
Retro-commissioning (RCx) is a structured process used to improve the performance of existing buildings by ensuring systems are operating, controlled and maintained as intended. TEA can provide a structured Building Energy Optimisation and Retro-Commissioning assessment to understand how your building is currently operating and identify opportunities for improvement.
