ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

Green Grant Initiative

Hanley are eager to play our part in reducing carbon emissions. Launching our Green Grant Initiative ensures our employees play a vital role in this environmental impact.

Hanley Green Grant Initiative (GGI)

Ireland has a target to reduce carbon emissions (greenhouse gas emissions) by 51% by 2030, and to achieve a climate neutral economy by 2050. In order to do this, businesses are encouraged to invest in a greener future, through sustainable products, services and business models.

Hanley are eager to play our part in reducing carbon emissions and that’s why we were happy to launch the Green Grant Initiative back in 2022. Under the Green Grant Initiative, we reward employees who are making any extra efforts to reduce carbon emissions in their day to day lives. A grant of up to €500 will be made available for all employees as a one off payment.

*Note this grant does not affect your ability to apply for any government grants and is completely separate to this process*

What the grant can be used for:

Attic, Wall or Floor Insulation

Window or Door Upgrade

Efficient Heat Pump Upgrade

Heating Control Upgrade

Installation of Solar Heating

Installation of Solar Electricity

It also includes smaller, more manageable changes:

Installing LED Lightbulbs

Using Electric Car Chargers

Installing Smart Thermostats/ Devices

Employee's Green Grant Initiative

Installed Triple-glazed windows and doors

In order to reduce my carbon footprint, I recently installed Triple-glazed windows and doors at my home in Dungarvan. I have also permanently closed my chimney flue.

This has resulted in an estimated energy reduction of 35 kwh/m²/yr.

This has also helped me reduce my annual fuel bill by an estimated 40%

Installed Solar Panels and 9.5kwh Battery

In order to reduce my carbon footprint, I recently installed 16 solar panels along with a 9.5kwh battery at our home in Cavan.

This will allow us to generate an estimated 5,300 kWh from solar per year which is 127% of our average household usage.

The excess power generated is sold back to the grid which further reduces our costs. Solar has no emissions and each year we are estimated to reduce our carbon units/emissions by 2 tons.

Installed Double Glazed Windows

In order to reduce my carbon footprint, I recently installed double-glazed windows and a new energy efficient front door at my home.

This has resulted in an estimated annual reduction of 680kg of carbon emissions.

This has also helped me reduce my annual fuel bill by an estimated 18%.

Installed Cedarwood Cladding

In order to reduce my carbon footprint, I recently installed cedarwood cladding at my home in Dublin 1. This has resulted in an estimated 10% annual reduction in carbon units!

Installed 14 PV Solar Panels

The system is capable of producing 6.09 KW of power/hr. Any excess power generated is stored in a 5KW battery to supply the house and when the battery is full any excess power generated is sold back to the grid.

Installed Wood Pellet Burner

A wood pellet burner is efficient, convenient, and operated by wood pellet fuel. It produces very little wood smoke.

Switching to Electric

With an average of 20,000km’s a year driving with a diesel engine, I am saving approximately 5 metric tonnes of CO2 Emissions by switching to electric

Replaced Gas Fire with Thermal Smart Heaters

I replaced my gas fire with two 750W Lifetime Thermal Smart Heaters. This now puts my BER rating at B2, as the chimney breast was able to be sealed up, providing better insulation and less draft.

Solar Panels

I installed 10 PV Solar Panels, which have resulted Putting my BER rating at B1

Upgraded Windows and Door

I upgraded my windows and door, which has resulted in an estimated reduction of 50 kWh/m2/yr. This now puts my BER rating at around C2.

Upgraded Attic Insulation

I upgraded the insulation in our attic with spray foam insulation. Along with this, I also put in 200mm Earthwool Attic Loft Roll. This has resulted in an estimated reduction in my BER rating from a C- to a B+.

Upgraded to Double-Glazed Windows and Attic Insulation

I replaced the old single glazed windows in my home with Double Glazed uPVC 28mm DGU windows which will help for insulation and noise reduction. In conjunction with this, I also insulated the Attic with 400mm Metac Insulation. With the new windows and attic insulation my BER rating has improved from an F to a D1.
