About the Client
The Royal Cork Yacht Club is the oldest yacht club in the world.
Going from strength to strength, total membership is currently
around 1600, facilities are unparalleled in Ireland and continue
to expand and major World, European & Irish Championships
are hosted in the club regularly. Volvo Cork Week, which is
held every two years, is regarded as one of Europe’s best
regattas and attracts contestants from all over the world. The
activities of the club are regarded as a major tourism asset for
the Cork area and significantly contribute to the economy of
Crosshaven. The Royal Cork may be almost 300 years old but it
is still vibrant, progressive and innovative – just as it was when
it was founded in the year 1720.
The Solution
As part of the Royal Cork’s commitment to it’s environmental
policy, it has engaged energy consultant HEG to source a
competitive renewable energy contract on it’s behalf. The result
is that not only has the Royal Cork reduced it’s carbon footprint
it has secured savings and future recoverable savings.
Furthermore, in its effort to reduce consumption across the
premises, the Royal Cork has installed the HEG Buddi, giving
both live and historical access to the energy consumption via a
web based dashboard and smartphone app.
