Grants & Financing Consultancy
At Lawler Sustainability, we don’t just advise – we actively help you secure the right financial support so your sustainability ambitions become reality. From identifying optimal grants to navigating applications, structuring co-investment, and ensuring compliance – we handle the complexity so you can focus on execution.
We specialise in four core support streams that align with strategic decarbonisation and energy efficiency pathways:
- Decarbonisation & Capital Upgrades
- Metering / Monitoring & Tracking Systems
- EPC / Contracting Support
1. Decarbonisation & Capital Upgrades
SEAI EXEED (Excellence in Energy Efficient Design)
For large-scale, complex building retrofit or new build projects, the EXEED framework is a key route to accessing grant support while embedding best-in-class energy performance.
- Encourages innovation, lifecycle thinking, and high performance.
- Supports advanced modelling, carbon optimisation, integrated design.
- Grants (in prior rounds) have funded up to €1 million+ per project (confirm current scheme limits).
- Ideal for clients aiming for deep retrofit, NZEB, or cutting-edge sustainability credentials.
We help you across the full journey: EXEED registration, design alignment, grant submission, reporting oversight, and post-installation verification.
Industrial Development Agency (IDA) Ireland “Go Green Plus”
If your facility is in Ireland and you are expanding or upgrading under IDA’s remit, Go Green Plus offers a pathway to incentivise energy investments.
- Designed to reward capital projects that reduce emissions, improve energy efficiency, or integrate renewables.
- Works in tandem with your expansion grant stack, making green upgrades “additive” to your baseline plans.
- We can help map which works qualify, size your application, and align your investment timeline and grant incentives.
2. Metering / Monitoring & Tracking Systems
Enterprise Ireland Energy Monitoring & Tracking (EM&T) Systems Grant
Accurate metering, sub-metering, real time monitoring and analytics are no longer optional – they’re essential for continuous improvement and unlocking further support.
- This scheme supports the installation, deployment, and integration of monitoring hardware, software, and analytics tools.
- Helps reduce performance gaps, identify maintenance/intervention opportunities, and validate energy savings.
- Grants typically subsidise up to a percentage of metering and analytics implementation costs (check current eligibility thresholds).
We assist in specifying systems, preparing grant applications, and ensuring your monitoring roll-out aligns with data and verification requirements for other funding claims.
3. EPC / Contracting Support
SEAI Contracting Support Scheme (Energy Performance Contracting Grants)
Energy Performance Contracting (EPC) is a powerful model in which energy efficiency projects are delivered with guaranteed savings – shifting risk away from you. SEAI’s contracting support grant helps de-risk and incentivise deployment.
- Helps cover preliminary assessments, measurement & verification, and performance guarantees.
- Enables you to engage an EPC contractor with confidence that part of your project support is grant-backed.
- Particularly useful for clients with limited capital or who want to structure energy retrofits via guaranteed payback.
We’ll guide you from EPC tendering, selecting qualified contractors, structuring contract terms, and aligning the grant support to ensure the energy savings guarantee is deliverable and credible.
Why Choose Lawler for Grant & Financing Support?
We bring a rare combination: deep technical strength (energy modelling, controls, systems) + tight grant & funding expertise. That’s what allows us to “close the loop” – not just point out funding, but make sure your project actually realises its potential with strong execution.
How It Works
-
Diagnostic & Grant Mapping
We start with a short diagnostic: site review, energy profile, expansion or upgrade plans. We map all grant and financing levers that could apply.
-
Project Definition & Structuring
Define your optimal scope (e.g. decarbonisation, metering, EPC), technical design roadmaps, and co-investment options. We test different “what-if” grant stacks.
-
Application & Negotiation
We prepare grant applications, handle interactions with agencies (SEAI, IDA, Enterprise Ireland, etc.), and refine your submission to maximize your success potential.
-
Implementation Support & Reporting
Once funding is secured, we remain engaged – overseeing delivery to ensure grant compliance, verifying energy performance, and supporting any audits or final sign-offs.
Who Benefits Most
- Large commercial / industrial operators planning deep decarbonisation or energy upgrade programmes
- Projects in expansion mode (especially with IDA footprint) wanting to “green” their growth path
- Facilities with diverse metering needs or gaps in insight into energy flows
- Organisations seeking low-risk financing (via EPC or performance guarantees)
- Clients requiring turnkey support so they don’t get lost in technical or grant complexity
