Gateway at Beacon Court

Sandyford, Dublin 18, Ireland

Gateway at Beacon Court is an 80,000 square metres mixed use development located in Sandyford in Dublin 18. The development consists of approx. a 50 / 50 split between commercial and residential units.

There was a strong emphasis on sustainability on this project. The project strove not only to better the current part L but also the local authority energy policy ET7. ET7 requires a reduction in CO2 emissions by 40% below prevailing norms and use of 20% renewable energy sources within the development.

This was achieved using some of the following sustainable technologies;

• High levels of building air tightness
• U Values 20% better than Building Regulations
• Central energy centre / district heating approach c/w CHP & Biomass
• Maximum use of natural ventilation
• Employment of low energy / high efficiency Vent & AC systems only where necessary.
