Archiseek / Ireland / News / 2004 / April 20 2004: Galway planners approve solar-powered building

Galway city planners have given the go-ahead for a new solar-powered apartment block which is expected to become a showcase for green energy in Ireland. Energy generated by solar panels will supply all of the hot water at the new building at Forster Street, opposite the Fairgreen, as well as lighting on the street outside. It is also planned to use recycled water in the building. City council planners have granted permission to Mr Oliver Hynes to demolish his shop and residential unit at 37 and 39 Forster Street and to construct a five-storey over-basement development.
