Please refer to the tender documentation for details of the budget for the initial contract, which is strictly limited. The initial contract will run till the end of 2021 as a pilot. During this period, GMIT seeks to develop the 4-year Energy Master Plan (2022-2025) and also trial the development and testing of a gamified Energy Discovery (ED) application amongst students and staff at its Dublin Road Campus. Reflecting GMIT’s Mission, the primary goal of Ed-SEC is to leverage the combined educational, research and facilities management experience of GMIT, including external stakeholders (e.g. ISEA, HPA, SEAI, WDC, WEI, etc.) to inform and educate the energy citizen (GMIT staff, students, stakeholder and general public).
