About This Podcast
We have design tips from Home of the Year winners and expert builders, advice on grants, finance and planning, and renovation stories from the likes of James Kavanagh, Fionnuala Jay, Ryan Baird, and Dermot Bannon. And we travelled across Ireland to chat with homeowners about their energy upgrades, interiors and sustainable habits.
Seasons 1-5 (under the title of '180 Degrees'), explores the energy choices we make when it comes to transport, our homes, business and technology. There is practical advice on reducing your energy bills, saving money and adopting a more energy-efficient lifestyle. We chat to expert guests to address some of the key questions around Ireland’s energy revolution, what renewable technologies are coming into our homes to help improve our lives and our communities and how we can prepare for a fossil free future. We also discuss the switch to electric vehicles and Ireland’s charging infrastructure
