Cloughjordan Ecovillage Cloughjordan Ecovillage

The Cloughjordan Ecovillage is an eco-village community on a 67-acre site in the Irish Midlands committed to ecological, social and economic sustainability as well as communal, carbon-neutral and self-sufficient living. The first residents moved into what are now 55 low-carbon homes in 2009, built using natural construction techniques and applying high energy efficiency standards, supplied by a district heating system that burns wood waste from a nearby sawmill and provides low-carbon heating and hot water. Furthermore, the village has a working farm, an array of polytunnels and a bakery providing the community with food year-round.
