World of Bounce, Carrick-on-Suir

World of Bounce & Mini Farm is a family-run activity centre for children located in Carrick-on-Suir in Co. Waterford. Established in 2018 the owners Raymond and Liz O’Loughlin were looking to reduce their energy consumption and save on their energy costs. Through the SEAI’s Support Scheme for Energy Audits (SSEA), they availed of a free Energy Audit provided by Energi IQ.

Background

In a bid to reduce operational costs, lower carbon emissions and improve energy efficiency World of Bounce decided to apply to SEAI for a €2,000 voucher towards the cost of a professional energy audit selecting Energi IQ as their preferred auditor.

The Audit

A SEAI registered Energy Auditor from Energi IQ visited site in June 2025. A detailed site survey of the facility was carried out, including identifying significant energy users.

Existing energy consumption over the previous 12 months was collated using energy billing provided by the client to establish a baseline year. From this energy trends over twelve months were analysed and benchmarked.

The report was then compiled providing a comprehensive list of energy upgrade recommendations that could be implemented to reduce their energy use with potential funding sources identified.  

Outcomes

Recommendations included:

Installing all of the recommended measures would lead to an 63% reduction in energy costs.

All measures can be implemented with grants from either the SEAI or Local Enterprise Office which offers a significant contribution towards the capital costs of the upgrades. By availing of this funding, all measures can be implemented with an ROI of less than 10 years.
