As the official energy partner to the GAA, the firm teamed up with Mayo Footballer Aidan O'Shea and Cork Hurler Aidan Walsh to reveal the results of the ESB 'EnergyFit' programme, in association with FutureFit.
Operated in conjunction with FutureFit, ESB worked closely with the Irish energy efficiency company to refine the programme. Along with the SEAI and GAA, ESB also provided funding to each club that successfully completed the BEC process.

Paddy Hayes, Executive Director of Generation and Wholesale Markets at ESB, said: "As Ireland's premier electricity utility, we are delighted to be a part of this pioneering energy efficiency programme within the sports industry.
"ESB prides itself on driving innovation in the energy sector and enhancing the communities in which we work, so our goal was to provide the participating GAA clubs with the latest tools and resources to generate real energy savings which in turn can be reinvested in club development.
"GAA clubs are the heart of so many Irish communities and we look forward to continuing our work with them over the coming months."
A total of 14 GAA clubs from around the country are currently on track to complete the EnergyFit process in 2015. Separated into two key areas; EnergyFit and RetroFit, the programme delivers tangible return on investment through behavioural education and physical thermal and electrical upgrading including insulation and lighting solutions.
