South Dublin County Council was quite proud to report to us that it was pulling down its buildings' operation energy when I was on the council. There was a building on Baggot Street that was famous for its energy per square metre. As architects, we were told to have a look at the rating because it was massive. It was 600 kWh or 700 kWh per sq. m. It was through the roof. The rating was seen as a bit of a joke but that level of energy consumption does exist.
