              ways to enhance competitiveness and improve their environmental

              energy agency and its mission is to support and assist the development 
              of sustainable energy in Ireland.  SEI supports businesses through advice and training 
              programmes that boost the competitive edge of Irish companies and 
              help increase profits. Tackling energy usage is a valuable way to 
              reduce costs and enhance competitiveness and has proven itself in

              and identify immediate opportunities for savings. Advice on appropriate
