THE Tralee-based DCS Group were outright winners of the 2014 Sustainable Energy Awards Ireland (SEAI) Built Environment Award in Dublin on Thursday of last week.

The company, based in Moyderwell and founded by Managing Director Donal Sugrue, won the award for their LED Lighting Retrofit Project which delivers a full design and build lighting solution to the retail sector which saves energy; reduces carbon, cost and maintenance and provides an overall better customer and staff experience.

This project involved the retrofit of seven Tesco stores with LED Lighting. It has delivered on average 50% savings across all seven Tesco stores. The project investment was funded through a ‘Pay as You Save’ Model, reducing the barriers, business risks, and capital requirement for Tesco to adopt this new technology.

According to Financial Director, Caroline Sugrue, 2014 has been a progressive year for DCS Group. “With the financial and economic constraints facing all businesses today, DCS group along with our client’s customers have had to develop innovative and technologically sound solutions across the energy spectrum”.

The 11th Sustainable Energy Awards gala event in Dublin last night hosted by the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) and sponsored by Electric Ireland, reward excellence in energy innovation amongst Irish organisations of all sizes, across the business, community and public sectors.
