KORE is delighted to announce a remarkable double win at the 2025 Irish Construction Excellence (ICE) Awards, held recently in Dublin. The evening marked a proud milestone for the company as both KORE Insulation and KORE Retrofit received top honours for their contributions to climate-conscious innovation in the built environment.
KORE Insulation was awarded Winner in the Construction Product Innovation – Building Fabric category for its Low Carbon Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) – a product that is helping to set new standards in sustainable construction through reduced embodied carbon and high-performance insulation.
Shortly after celebrating this achievement, the team was called to the stage once again – this time as Winner in the Fit Out or Refurbishment – Up to €10m category for KORE Retrofit’s Passive House Bungalow project in County Monaghan, led by Barry Mc Carron FCIAT. The project showcases how deep energy retrofits, when combined with Passive House design, can create highly efficient, climate-resilient homes.
“Our team puts an incredible amount of energy into driving Ireland’s climate action goals through both product innovation and project delivery,” said Barry Mc Carron, Managing Director of KORE Retrofit. “To be recognised by our peers with not one, but two awards, is an honour and a testament to the hard work of everyone at KORE.”
The ICE Awards are Ireland’s premier recognition of excellence in construction and civil engineering. KORE extends its sincere thanks to the judges and organisers for a fantastic event, and congratulations to all their fellow finalists and winners.
