DKIT students partner with Dundalk Credit Union to host Green Home Exhibition

A team of 4th year students from Dundalk Institute of Technology (DKIT), in conjunction with Dundalk Credit Union have announced the upcoming Green Home Exhibition taking place at Marshes Shopping Centre, Dundalk, on Saturday, 17th May.  This free event is aimed at helping homeowners explore sustainable home improvement solutions while learning about the financial support available through Dundalk CU’s Green Home Loans. 

The exhibition will take place on Saturday, 17th May, from 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM. This family-friendly event will offer valuable insights into energy-efficient home upgrades and financial incentives designed to make homes more sustainable and cost-effective. Attendees can book private consultations for personalised guidance on securing a Green Home Loan. 

As part of the event, three SEAI-approved companies; Senator Windows, Lennon Solar, and The Energy Team will be on hand to answer questions, offer quotes, arrange home inspections, and discuss energy upgrade costs and available grants. 

The Energy Team will be on hand to provide step-by-step support for homeowners interested in applying for SEAI grants and understanding the necessary paperwork, certifications, and energy ratings required for various improvements. 

On the day, there will be a series of interactive family activities, including: 

• Live Demonstrations of sustainable home upgrade techniques. 

• Exclusive On-the-Day Consultations with Dundalk CU loan experts. 

• A fun Trivia "Spin the Wheel" competition with eco-friendly prizes.
