IrDEA is the only trade organisation representing the district heating and cooling (DHC) sector in Ireland. We act on behalf of our members to support and promote the growth of the DHC industry, creating a new heating market for Ireland which offers greater opportunities to utilise indigenous low-carbon and renewable sources of heat. IrDEA was established in 2018 as a not-for-profit company limited by guarantee, and has members from across the public, private and academic sectors.
