As the largest builder of residential homes in Ireland, Cairn Homes is also leading the way in reducing carbon emissions. In 2024, the company announced that it was adopting the passive house standard for all new flagship developments as a way of reducing the energy demand of the homes it builds.
The consortium of Cairn, UCD, Kilsaran, and Ecocem has secured €50,000 in funding from Construct Innovate, Ireland’s national Construction Technology Centre, to validate an innovative low-carbon cement capable of significantly cutting Ireland’s CO2 emissions from the construction sector.
