Green Awards 2026 finalist: A community energy collaboration 

The award submission is titled SE Systems & Douglas Lions, reflecting the central partnership at the heart of the project. The Douglas Lions House retrofit demonstrates how a joined-up, One-Stop Shop can support communities in reducing energy use, cutting carbon emissions, and improving residents’ living conditions. 

SE Systems acted as the delivery partner for the project, managing the full process from assessment and grant facilitation through to delivery and handover. While the award recognises the collaboration with Douglas Lions, projects of this scale are enabled through a wider partnership ecosystem, including support from the SE Systems Community Fund, and the SEAI Community Energy Grant (CEG). 

Delivering measurable outcomes through community energy upgrades 

The Douglas Lions House project delivered significant improvements in energy performance and comfort for residents, upgrading homes to modern efficiency standards and reducing energy costs for older and vulnerable residents. 

A full overview of the project, including the approach taken and the outcomes achieved, is available in the Douglas Lions Club case study.
