Mitsubishi Electric Ecodan Heat Pump Retrofits 1920s Home for Sustainable Living in Ireland
Mitsubishi Electric Ireland showcases architect Dermot Bannon's retrofit of a 1920s home in Drumcondra, focusing on sustainable living using the Ecodan air source heat pump. Bannon's 2019 transformation aimed to enhance energy performance and comfort, addressing the home's poor insulation and heating. The Ecodan system was selected for its efficiency and environmental benefits, providing year-round consistent comfort and abundant hot water.

Dermot Bannon, an architect and brand ambassador for Mitsubishi Electric, retrofitted a 1920s home in Drumcondra, Ireland, using the Ecodan air source heat pump. The project commenced in 2019, addressing issues including poor insulation and low energy performance indicated by its original G BER rating.
Bannon's retrofit strategy included deep insulation, high-quality ventilation, and an advanced heating system, with the Ecodan heat pump central to achieving comfort and sustainability. The system has since provided consistent heating and hot water, significantly reducing the home's carbon footprint.
