Wyeth Nutritionals Ireland – Limerick, Ireland. [Building]
Posted by: | CommentsAt the time of project conception, WNI operated three steam boilers consuming approximately 11 million litres of heavy fuel oil per annum and as a consequence generating emissions of sulphur dioxide and particulates.
WNI also generated approximately 115 million gallons of dairy waste water per annum. This waste water underwent full biological treatment prior to local discharge. The micro-organisms essential to the treatment process require the untreated waste water to register within the pH band 6.0-8.5. A fundamental element of the waste-water treatment process within WNI was thus pH-correction of an alkaline waste by the addition of hydrochloric acid. The project was funded in part by the European project and is encrypted LIFE: LIFE96 ENV/IRL/91.
Irish Energy Centre – Dublin, Ireland.
Posted by: | CommentsThe Irish Energy Centre is located on the Forbairt research campus about 3.5 km north of
Dublin city centre. This suburban campus on a gently sloping south-facing site comprises about twenty buildings of various ages, sizes and shapes.
The Irish Energy Centre, a building completed in October 1996, is located on an existing research campus of Enterprise Ireland in Dublin.
This modest building provides flexible and energy-efficient office accommodation for about
thirty people, with exhibition space and ancillary spaces. The two-storey building has a floor area of about 410 m2.
The predicted consumption in the Irish Energy Centre office building is 57% of that of a conventional office building of the same date.
