ESB one of worst offenders for energy inefficiency

SOME of the worst offenders for energy inefficiency include government offices, HSE facilities and the ESB.

Not one public building assessed by energy efficiency experts has achieved the top grade in a ratings scheme designed to show wastage in electricity, gas and oil use and the extent of associated carbon emissions.

One of the biggest offenders is the ESB itself, which has eight buildings that all received the lowest possible ‘G’ rating and two others that scored unimpressive F and E2 grades.
