Sure Systems Wins Top Irish Building Energy Awards 2026

If you're managing a commercial building, you know the pressure is on. You need to hit CO2 targets, keep tenants comfortable, and somehow make the budget work. It's a tough puzzle. That's where companies like Sure Systems D&M Limited come in. They're Ireland's leading mechanical services and building energy management system (BEMS) contractor, and they just bagged two major awards in the 2026 Irish Enterprise Awards for their innovative work. Their secret? They don't just install equipment and leave. They focus on delivering the whole package: turnkey mechanical solutions, energy-efficient upgrades, and long-term maintenance support. They've worked with big names like Lidl, and they stick around to make sure everything runs smoothly, preventing issues before they even happen. ### What Makes Them Different? Honestly, the biggest headache in building upgrades is dealing with multiple contractors. One for ventilation, another for heating, a different one for IoT controls. It's a mess. Sure Systems cuts through that by offering a fully integrated solution under one roof. This means less risk, simpler project management, and the peace of mind that all the parts will work together from day one. This approach is supercharged by their own platform, called SURE Vision. Think of it as a fitness tracker for your building. It's an in-house energy management platform that provides continuous monitoring, optimization, and clear reporting. It creates an ongoing partnership with building owners, ensuring carbon reduction goals are met not just at the start, but for the entire life of the building. A company spokesperson put it perfectly: "The results are demonstrably low-carbon, intelligent building and a delivery model that is scalable, repeatable, and difficult to replicate." ### Meeting the Demand for Decarbonization Every building is unique, which makes a one-size-fits-all strategy impossible. Sure Systems gets this. They've built a nationwide team of experienced, talented professionals to handle that diversity. This local presence is crucial, especially when you're facing a mechanical breakdown and need help fast. ### A Real-World Success Story: Corrig Court The proof is in the projects. Their award-winning work on the Corrig Court office development in Sandyford, Dublin, earned them the Building Decarbonisation & IoT Optimisation Excellence Award 2026. They transformed an aging, fossil-fuel-dependent building into a modern, efficient, clean-energy-powered space. Here’s how they did it: - **Eliminated On-Site Combustion:** They ripped out the old gas boiler plant and installed a high-efficiency system of heat pumps. - **Upgraded Ventilation:** The central air handling unit was replaced with a modern unit featuring an electric heating battery, allowing all heating and ventilation to run on clean energy. - **Added Renewable Power:** They installed a solar PV array on-site. This offsets electrical demand and creates a renewable energy source to power the new systems. To tie it all together and ensure long-term control and tenant comfort, they deployed a new, future-proof Building Management System (BMS). Now, the building has IoT-based control over radiators, dampers, and metering on every floor, giving managers unprecedented visibility and control. It's a clear blueprint for turning old, inefficient buildings into smart, sustainable assets ready for the future. And it shows why an integrated, hands-on approach from a single expert partner isn't just convenient—it's essential for real, lasting results.
