Public sector workers to have office temperatures controlled to reduce energy use 

Among the ideas being considered by Government is the heating of floors, rather than entire buildings.

Public sector workers face having the temperature in their offices controlled, as part of the Government’s plans to reduce energy use.

Government leaders will meet Tuesday to finalise a strategy to significantly reduce energy consumption, as both the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) and the Climate Change Advisory Council (CCAC) issued separate, bleak warnings about a growth in emissions and the impact of the energy crisis.
