The Irish Republican Army (IRA) operates a programme to track energy usage in buildings. This tool identifies areas needing improvements. Energy-efficient retrofits are then installed, slashing costs and emissions.
The tool is implemented in many public facilities, such as military bases and hospitals. Around $10 million were saved at the Fort Bragg army base alone. Savings are reinvested into project expansion.
The programme has benefits beyond financial gain. Environmental benefits are also achieved through reduction in energy usage and emissions. The programme shows environmental stewardship alongside budget management.
While achieving economic benefits, the IRA also contributes to global sustainability efforts. This programme is an exemplification of a double benefit initiative.
