MSLETB Energy Build

MSLETB Energy Build

Mosart’s architectural team designed the Energy Build for Mayo, Sligo and Leitrim ETB at Sligo College, a dedicated training facility built to address Ireland’s skills shortage in high-performance and retrofit construction. Drawing on direct experience across multiple NZEB and high-performance training environments, the team designed a working facility that reflects actual site conditions rather than a curated showroom.

Overview

Mosart’s architectural team designed the Energy Build for Mayo, Sligo and Leitrim ETB at Sligo College, a dedicated training facility built to address Ireland’s skills shortage in high-performance and retrofit construction. Drawing on direct experience across multiple NZEB and high-performance training environments, the team designed a working facility that reflects actual site conditions rather than a curated showroom.

The centre incorporates live demonstration assemblies across timber frame, SFS, block and flat, and EWI construction methods, alongside MVHR training rigs and retrofit demonstration details. Every element was specified to give learners direct, hands-on exposure to the standards the industry requires, from first principles through to finished execution.

The facility represents a practical response to one of the construction sector’s most pressing challenges: equipping tradespeople with the skills to deliver high-performance buildings properly, from day one on site.

Architectureour role on this project

Certification is independent: the model is verified and the airtightness is measured before handover. What that is worth to a scheme
