Executive Summary
Since the publication of our first Climate Action Roadmap (Q4/24-Q1/25), 99% of City of Dublin ETB's CO2 emissions remain directly related to our buildings and the manner in which we heat and power these building to deliver an extensive range of educational and community services.
Work has continued to further quantify and analyse the existing energy and emissions profile of our diverse built estate. This exercise continues to underpin the roadmap to achieving the 51% emissions reduction target and the target for a 50% improvement in our energy efficiency by the year 2030, as set out in Ireland's Public Sector Climate Action Mandate (PSCAM).
Previously acknowledged challenges remain. Significant investments will be required and these investments will need to be strategically considered and directed. 2030 2050
A modelled and ambitious estate-wide energy management / reduction program, that potentially maps almost 30% of the road, remains the only foundation on which those strategic decisions and investments can be built.
The completed SEAI “Gap to Target” tool and the associated data sets used to populate that tool are now annexed to this roadmap. (Annex 1 & Annex 2 respectively). Energy management /reduction potential is modelled across data-set 2.
City of Dublin ETB are resourcing the Training, Green Teams and Structures that will be required to deliver those “energy management” reductions over the coming years. Important, new devolved “green” funding streams have become available that will assist in resourcing that ambition. External industry resources have also become available that will further assist in the task.
The remaining 70% that has been modelled remains partly illustrative, dependent as it is on external stakeholder funding. Live and large scale active building / refurbishment projects have been modelled. Active Minor building and refurbishment projects have been modelled and these minor projects have been further leveraged within the model to demonstrate the potential for further and required reductions. These models are included in the annexed “gap to target” tool and associated data sets (Annex 1 & Annex 2 respectively).
These, required and significant, remaining reductions are modelled for the purposes of quantifying and emphasizing the significant level of fossil fuel energy demand that needs to be eliminated or transitioned to an appropriate renewable heating regime.
On the School side, which is subject to a separate mandate, the roadmap identifies large energy consumption profiles where investments will be needed to achieve required fossil fuel energy demand reduction. Potential projects are modelled in the annexed “gap to target” tool and associated data sets.
On the Further Education side, this roadmap will inform further iterations of City of Dublin ETB's developing FET Estate Strategy as it seeks to refine that strategy, in partnership with all stakeholders. The intent is to define and realise an ideal built estate that aligns with the ambition to remain world leaders in this sector, while recognising the realities of a “carbon constrained environment”.

1 Introduction
1.1 Organisational Context
City of Dublin ETB was established on 1st July 2013 under the Education and Training Boards Act, 2013. We are the state education and training authority for Dublin with over 3,000 staff who provide education and training opportunities for over 50,000 people across Dublin city.
We do this through running Community National Schools, Community Special Schools, Community Hospital Schools and 11 Community Colleges across the city. Our City of Dublin FET College operates across four campuses in the city providing PLC, apprenticeships, traineeships and a range of further education and training opportunities for adults.
We are also responsible for SUSI, the national awarding authority for student grants in Ireland., City of Dublin ETB supports the provision, coordination, administration and assessment of Youth Services in Dublin city and is the lead partner in Music Generation Dublin City.
This provision is supported by a range of services including a psychological service, a curriculum development unit, a buildings maintenance unit and the Head Office administrative staff in Ballsbridge.

2 Our People – Leadership and Governance
2.1 Senior Management Commitment
While recognising significant challenges ahead, City of Dublin ETB's Senior Management Team are committed to meeting their obligations under the Public Sector Climate Action Mandate (PSCAM).
City of Dublin ETB have signed a partnership agreement with the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) committing to:
- Working with SEAI to achieve our 2030 and 2050 energy decarbonisation targets and deliver on the wider Public Sector Mandate.
- Embedding an energy management programme appropriate to the size of our organisation
- Developing a project pipeline towards 2030 energy decarbonisation targets and plan strategically towards achieving net zero by 2050.
- Reporting annually on our organisation and building stock energy performance.
- Working with SEAI to undertake an annual review of our energy management and energy decarbonisation actions.
- Reporting our energy efficiency and greenhouse gas emission reductions progress annually to SEAI.
- Considering energy efficiency and greenhouse gas emission reductions when procuring and designing equipment and facilities.
- Collaborating with SEAI to communicate the benefits of energy-related climate action.
2.2 Nominated Climate and Sustainability Champion
As mandated, City of Dublin ETB have nominated a member of the Senior Leadership Team as “Climate and Sustainability Champion”. The Director of Organisation Support and Development (OSD-admin), as Champion, continues to work closely with the Senior Leadership Team, Buildings Team, and wider organisation, leveraging both in-house and external expertise to ensure that the significant challenges associated with the mandate are disseminated and understood across the organisation and to ensure that our working practices evolve and develop in alignment with the broad aims of the Climate Action Mandate.
2.3 Governance structure
2.4 Staff Training and Engagement
A broad range of training has been offered and undertaken by staff across the organization. Training includes, Energy in Education, Energy Map, Climate Action Certification, NZEB Fundamentals, SI 426 Audits...
City of Dublin ETB have developed a program at level 3 in climate justice and action. This has been made available to all ETBs to encourage a national approach. The handbook for the program was developed by City of Dublin ETB to support the tutors delivering the program.
In 2022 staff went on an Erasmus mobility to look at how SDGs are embedded into the FET centres and curriculum. A committee was established to develop a cohesive approach across the organisation.
2.5 Senior Leadership Training
Members of the Senior leadership Team have undertaken a range of training. Assisted by ETBI and IPA all members of the Senior Leadership Team are undergoing the “LA CARO” type Climate Action training program.
2.6 Green Teams
The structure of Energy / Green teams is progressing and will be formalised during the course of 2026. The primary focus is directed towards an ambitious, estate-wide Energy Management program, particularly Boiler Management and fossil fuel reduction. A draft summary of our proposed “Green Teams” charter is included at appendix G.
2.7 Staff Workshops
Staff workshops will continue during the course of 2026 to ensure that the implications of the mandate's specific emissions reduction and energy efficiency improvement targets are disseminated and understood across the organization as well as to ensure that the broader objectives of the mandate are embedded across the organisation.
3 Our Ways of Working
3.1 Energy and Environmental Management Systems and Accreditation.
Based on annual energy spend, City of Dublin ETB has fallen within the terms of section 3.3.1 of the roadmap guidance. To compliment our Green Team and Staff Workshop initiatives, during 2026 we will be working with external consultants to achieve ISO 50001 (Energy Management) certification, an internationally recognised standard that provides a systematic framework for organisations to enhance their energy management practices and improve their energy use.
ISO 50001:2018 Requires Organisations to:
- Understand internal and external Issues and the needs and expectations of Interested parties related to energy management
- Determine the boundaries, applicability and scope of the energy management system
- Demonstrate leadership commitment to energy management
- Establish an energy policy, energy objectives and an energy planning process
- Develop and conduct an energy review and establish an energy baseline
- Identify EnPls (Energy Performance Indicators) appropriate for monitoring and measuring energy performance
- Establish & maintain documents required by the standard
- Encourage participation of employees in energy management
- Demonstrate continual energy performance Improvement
We will also, on a sectoral level, continue to work with ETBI and wider stakeholders, to leverage and strengthen resources to further assist in that task.
3.2 Paper Based Processes
City of Dublin ETB maintains paper based processes under constant review.
In the last 3 years City of Dublin ETB has been successful in transitioning our Payroll, Human Resources, and Ordering and Invoicing management systems, from paper based processes to
online cloud based systems. In the last year we have successfully migrated our expenses system to a fully online cloud based system.
3.3 Green Public Procurement
City of Dublin ETB includes environmental criteria in all major Tenders for Goods and Services.
City of Dublin ETB has a number of large scale Building Projects at development stage that will be realised over the next number of years. The requirements of “Green Public Procurement” as it relates to Building Projects and in particular low carbon construction methods and the inclusion of low carbon cement will be followed where applicable.
3.4 Our vehicles
City of Dublin ETB's reported transport emissions represent less than 1% of our total reported CO 2 emissions. The emissions are from a number of maintenance support vehicles and school mini buses. In this iteration of the roadmap we have modelled an 80% reduction in the fossil fuel emissions associated with this transport.
4 CO2 Emissions – Target (kgCO2)
4.1 CO2 - Target reductions
Under the Public Sector Climate Action Mandate, City of Dublin ETB is required, by the year 2030, to reduce our CO2 Emissions by 51% from a fixed baseline of our average annual CO2 emissions for the years 2016-2018. This target must be achieved in the context of the longer term ambition of achieving a decarbonised building stock by 2050.
As of our latest data, approximately 99% of these CO 2 emissions relate directly to our buildings and the manner in which we heat and power these buildings to support and deliver an extensive range of services. The remaining 1% of reported CO 2 emissions relate to transport which was reported, as required to the M&R database for the first time in 2022.
City of Dublin ETB's baseline CO 2 emissions are our average annual emissions for the years 2016 to 2018. It is a fixed baseline from which a 51% reduction is required to be achieved by 2030 irrespective of how the organisation may grow and develop over the coming years.
Our baseline and target CO2 emission numbers (for both iteration 1 and iteration 2 of the roadmap) are set out in two tables below showing a split into what are termed scope 1 (on-site fossil/transport) and scope 2 (grid electricity) emissions along with a corresponding total.
From Climate Action Roadmap – Iteration 1 Q4/24/Q1/25 (2022 M&R Data)
Target Emissions
| Baseline Emissions (average for years 2016-2018) | (51% Reduction by 2030) | ||
| Type | Source | kg CO2 | kg CO2 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SCOPE 1 Emissions | On-Site (fossil) Thermal & Transport | 2,274,827 | 1,114,665 |

The small change in our baseline position, reflected in the 2024 data can be attributed to the continuing improvement in data collection and reporting. As set out in Section 7 below, the level of confidence in the data remains high and above 90% and will be subject to continuing improvement.
The two tables are included above primarily to emphasise that irrespective of the data presented the challenge remains the same.
4.1.1 Scope 1 & Scope 2 Emissions
Scope 1 refers to CO2 emissions that occur directly on-site and transport, (i.e. boiler houses or transport vehicles).
Scope 2 emissions occur off site at the power stations where the electricity is generated.
The distinction between Scope 1 and Scope 2 Emissions is important.
4.1.2 Scope 2 Emissions - Assumptions and Business as Usual (BAU)
Built into the SEAI Gap to Target Tool (GTT) is an assumption that our SCOPE 2 (electrical) emissions will benefit significantly from the continued decarbonisation of Ireland's Electricity Supply grid.
The assumed and modelled benefit from the supply side decarbonisation of Ireland's Electricity grid is set out in the table below and would equate to an approximate 78% reduction in our scope 2 CO 2 emissions. The comparison of the 2022 and 2024 data again show a small shift but does not alter the challenge.

4.1.3 Scope 2 Emissions – Gap to Target Tool and Business as Usual (BAU)
=122101
2 graphical extracts from the SEAI Gap to Target tool set out above, compare “business as usual” (BAU) scenarios based on both 2022 data (to the left) and latest 2024 data (to the right). The scenarios progressively show our baseline position, progress at 2022 (& 2024 latest data1), a business as usual scenario (with scope 2 supply-side assumption) and finally our mandated target position.
Again the comparison is made to emphasise that, irrespective of which data is used the challenge remains identical, while noting the supply side improvement in scope 2 (electrical emissions).
In the Business as usual (BAU) 2030 scenario the Scope 2 (electrical emissions) target has been reached and exceeded. This leaves potential for appropriately2 considered growth in these Scope 2 emissions in parallel with the challenge of charting a roadmap to 2030 to achieve our scope 1 (fossil fuel) emissions target.
As set out in the following sections and associated appendices and annexes, City of Dublin ETB has mapped the road to the Scope 1 emissions target and, in parallel, has recorded and charted the accompanying change in the Scope 2 emissions profile of our built estate.
The SEAI “gap to target” model and all associated data sets are annexed to this roadmap (at Annex 1 & 2 respectively).

4.2.1 CO2 Emissions Target - Modelled Overview (Totals)
The graphical extract above, taken from the SEAI gap to target tool, shows an overview of City of Dublin ETB's modelled roadmap to achieving the mandated 51% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 CO2 Emissions.
The extract progressively shows our baseline position, progress at 20223, our modelled scenario to 2030 with targets achieved and finally our mandated target position.
The table below shows the Scope 1 & Scope 2 figures extracted and set against the mandated target figures.
Target Emissions

The required minor shift to the above figures would not alter the graphical output or challenge in any significant way
4.3 CO2 Emissions Reductions - Data Modelling Approach
The approach taken to populate the SEAI gap to target tool is set out in the following project descriptions and the data associated with each type is tabulated in the appendices. A snippet of appendix A is included below.
• Recently Vacated Buildings.
Depending on the energy consumption profile of the vacated building, the contribution of the modelled reductions in CO2 can be significant. Refer to tabulated data set out in appendices A & B.
• In House Energy Management.
City of Dublin ETB have modelled, over the period 2025-2027, an annual 5% reduction in fossil fuel energy with a further 2.5% reduction modelled for the year 2028. In parallel an annual 2.5% reduction in electricity use has been modelled for the years 2025-2028. The contribution that this would make to the 2030 targets when set beside the reductions available through investments required for new build and retrofit projects emphasises the importance of a structured approach to in-house Energy Management to build on the progress already made. Refer to Appendices C for the data set associated with the Scope 1 Energy Management data.
Minor works - active projects.
These are active projects at varying stages of development. They involve identified works to individual or combined fabric elements of a building, such as roof and glazing retrofitting. These measures will deliver important but modest CO2 reductions. All of the projects have been leveraged (further investment required) within the model with further retrofit measures and 80% of the residual heating demand is transitioned to electric heating. All involve a parallel and associated modelling of changes in the profile of our Scope 2 (electric) CO2 emissions.
For the purposes of this roadmap these projects have been modelled in the following 4 step sequence and a typical and associated data set is included at appendix D.
- ■ Scope 1 CO2 reductions from retrofitting 2 combined fabric elements of a building. (modelled as a 17-28% reduction in Fossil fuel demand).
- ■ Scope 1 CO2 reductions available through leveraging an active project with further fabric and airtightness improvements to achieve a 40-60% reduction in the original fossil fuel heating demand.
- ■ Scope 1 CO2 reductions available through transitioning the residual heating demand to a 20/80% split between fossil fuel heating and high efficiency electric heating.
- ■ A further step, on the Scope 2 side of the model, records the additional Scope 2 CO2 emissions from electricity.
- Large scale - active projects
These are active projects at varying stages of development. They involve, in different measure, demolition of buildings, vacation of buildings, addition of buildings, extension of buildings, and retrofit of buildings. All involve a required and associated modelling of changes in the profile of our Scope 2 (electric) CO2 emissions. Scope 2 CO2 Emissions from additional buildings have been modelled at the appropriate time, but the associated model has been grouped together in order that the net position at 2030 for a particular project can be gauged. Refer to appendices A & B.
Further projects.
The decarbonisation model is dynamic and our long term Estate Strategy is subject to further development. These further projects are modelled for the purpose of identifying and, more importantly, emphasising the significant level of reduction in demand for fossil fuel energy demand that will be required to be eliminated (or transitioned) in order that the target reduction in fossil fuel CO 2 emissions can be met.
This demand reduction will be achieved on the same principles that have been detailed and modelled for the projects outlined above and will include, in varying measure, consolidation of provision, vacation of buildings, replacement of buildings, large scale projects, retrofit projects, and transition to an appropriate renewable heating regime.
Refer to appendices A&B, and the SEAI "gap to target" tool and associated data sets, annexed to this report at Annex 1 and 2 respectively.
A snippet of the Appendix A data is shown below, showing the general structure of the approach taken and showing the range of data calculated and input into the SEAI Gap to Target tool....
5 Energy Efficiency Target (kWh/m2)
City of Dublin ETB's present Energy Efficiency metric measures Energy use (kWh) per square meter (m2) of the floor area of our buildings (kWh/m2). It is derived from the Total Primary Energy Requirement (TPER) as reported to The SEAI's Monitoring and Reporting Database (M&R).
Our baseline and latest available Energy Efficiency data is set out in the table below. The last row sets out the mandated 50% improvement in Energy Efficiency required by 20307.
| kWh/m2 | normalised % | |
| 2009 Energy efficiency (Baseline): | 156.13 | 100 |
| 2022 Energy efficiency (Latest M&R Data): | 131.53 | 84.24 |
| 2030 Target & Modelled Scenario | 78.01 | 50 |
The demand reduction required to achieve this improvement has been modelled within the SEAI "gap to target tool" and the graphical extract below (normalised) demonstrates the achievement of the target (red dotted line).
The modelled Energy Efficiency scenario represented above traces the exact same path as that modelled for the required CO2 reductions. These measures are tabulated in Appendix A for Scope 1 emissions and in appendix B for Scope 2 emissions.
It should be noted that having modelled the scenarios set out clearly in the 2 appendices, a significant gap to the efficiency target remained to be bridged. This remaining gap was quantified and modelled as a package of combined further demand reduction and the quantified and modelled efficiency scenario is set out in appendix E.8
Note data above is based on 2022 Data. 2024 Data from the Monitoring & Reporting database is under review prior to fully integrating with the latest “gap to target” tool to ensure a consistency across both models. The required minor shift to the above figures would not alter the graphical output or challenge in any significant way.
6 Conclusion
From quantifying, tabulating and further refining a roadmap to achieving both the mandated CO2 Emissions reductions target and Energy Efficiency improvement target, it is clear that the achievement of those targets remains a significant challenge for City of Dublin ETB. The challenges remain multi-fold and are not unique to City of Dublin ETB and are widely acknowledged across both the public and private sectors.
City of Dublin ETB is not a self funded organisation. The capital investments required to achieve the mandated targets will be substantial and these investments will need to be strategically considered and directed.
City of Dublin ETB will continue to work with our partner stakeholders to both, refine and share available data and progress and develop a long term estate strategy that aligns with our mission to be world leaders in education, within the constraints of a “carbon constrained environment”.
The objectives of this 2^{nd} iteration of City of Dublin ETB's Climate Action Roadmap remain broadly identical to those of our first Roadmap.
The first objective is to continue to fulfil an obligation to our stakeholders to set out a clear roadmap within which the objectives of the Public Sector Climate Action Mandate (PSCAM) will be further embedded across our organisation.
The second objective remains to clearly quantify for our own organisation the implications of the two specific numerical targets that are set out in the mandate relating to both Carbon Emissions and Energy Efficiency. The targets are numerical and it only in the context a clear quantification of the implication those numbers that a map and to achieving those targets, and the resulting challenges can be fully understood.
Those challenges continue to direct a particular focus on the quantified and ambitious Energy management numbers that could potentially map almost 30% of the road that needs to be travelled.
City of Dublin ETB are resourcing the Training, Green Teams and Structures that will be required to deliver those “energy management”. Important, though modest, new devolved “green” funding streams have become available that will assist in resourcing that ambition. External industry resources have also become available that will further assist in the task.
It is intended that this in-house Energy Management program will be the foundation for the strategic decisions and investments that will be required over the coming years.

7 Afterword and note on data
The calculations underpinning this roadmap are derived from data that has been submitted to the SEAI monitoring and reporting database (M&R). Latest figures for 2024 have recently been received from the SEAI and this data is presently under review. City of Dublin ETB has a large built estate and work to refine data associated with that estate is subject to ongoing review to ensure that all relevant data has been correctly captured. Present levels of confidence in the available data is high and would be above 90%. As further iterations of our roadmap are completed this level of confidence will increase.
