The High Performance Building Alliance recently established a Centre of Excellence which aims to promote a climate change approach to the built environment.
Ireland has been leading the way on legislation for high performance buildings and Wexford has been to the forefront in the advancement of the energy performance buildings as a key strategy with funding support from Wexford County Council and the Waterford and Wexford Education and Training Board. Ultimately warmer buildings mean better homes, address fuel poverty, reduce the carbon footprint and support job creation.
The HPBA supported by Wexford County Council and Enterprise Ireland is seeking a Business Development Manager to develop a Green Hub in Enniscorthy Technology Park. The Hub will develop a pipeline of enterprises that will feed in collaboration with industry in fostering an entrepreneurship culture and provide support to inform the work of the hub as a commercial platform targeting marketing opportunities that will enable growth and scale.

Tackling emissions is good for our planet, economy, business and community. In particular the Green Hub as a one stop shop will support businesses in;
• Research, development and innovation
• Sustainability
• Supply side opportunities
• Quality training, business advice mentoring
