About the Event:

This major Institute of International and European Affairs conference, was hosted in the Croke Park Conference Centre, followed the publication of the IIEA's September 2009 report “Greenprint for a National Energy Efficiency Retrofit Programme."

The National Energy Efficiency Retrofit Programme subsequently announced in the December 2010 budget has the potential to create significant employment and enterprise opportunities in Ireland.

This conference brought together all stakeholder groups interested in:
