High Performance Building Alliance DAC

High Performance Building Alliance (HPBA) is an Irish Government- and UN-approved Centre of Excellence dedicated to tackling climate change through research, training and the delivery of high-performance buildings. Based in Enniscorthy, the alliance acts as a collaborative hub for green innovation, championing both new builds and deep retrofits that meet Nearly Zero Energy Building standards.

HPBA offers a suite of services for the construction sector, including industry-focused training programmes, research papers and reports, and a community platform where members can showcase sustainable products and services. It also provides policy guidance, international advisory, and support for social inclusion initiatives such as reducing fuel poverty and promoting healthy indoor environments. Through partnerships with organisations like the Green Building Alliance, HPBA facilitates knowledge exchange and showcases Irish sustainable construction to a global audience.

By up-skilling professionals, accelerating the delivery of high-performance projects and fostering a network of like-minded stakeholders, HPBA aims to position Ireland as a world-class leader in sustainable built-environment solutions.
