In one of the most competitive categories, Energy Efficiency Award – Major Users, Semple & McKillop were shortlisted for their energy efficient solution for the Southern Health and Social Care Trust (SHSCT).

The SEAI awards are deemed to be ‘the only awards scheme recognising best practice in energy performance, management and design’.

Their work with the Southern Health & Social Care Trust also received recognition in 2009 with St Luke’s Hospital site project receiving the ‘Leading Energy Efficiency Project Award’.
