Lawler Sustainability was appointed LEED consultant on the new Mayfair Library project by Kilkenny County Council as part of the Abbey Quarter Masterplan.

Why LEED? Because Outcomes Matter

LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) is one of the world’s most trusted sustainability frameworks. Developed by the U.S Green Building Council, It’s a points-based system that rewards performance across core categories: energy and atmosphere, water efficiency, indoor environmental quality, and innovation in design.

What Mayfair Library Teaches Us

By downloading the Mayfair Library case study, you’ll discover:

• Practical LEED implementation – how LEED principles were applied in design, energy systems, and indoor quality in a library setting with architectural significance.
• Measured energy & carbon reductions – real data from Mayfair, showing the performance improvements once LEED standards were met.
• Operational savings & lifecycle benefits – how reduced energy demand, optimized systems, and smarter design choices lead to lower ongoing maintenance costs.
• User & stakeholder experience – how improved natural lighting, ventilation, and indoor environment contribute to wellbeing, satisfaction, and brand reputation.
