Dylan Walsh, DirectorWith over 22 percent of Ireland’s energy audits under its belt, the company serves as a trusted advisor to businesses of all sizes, proving sustainability is achievable, from a local café to a multi-site corporation.
“Our clients can mix and match the services they need,” explains director Dylan Walsh. “For some, that means we handle everything from design to installation. Others rely on us to perfect specific stages, like securing grants or refining their energy strategy.”
This flexibility allows businesses of all sizes to stay in control and create a customised toolkit for their ideal energy-efficient solution.
This level of personalised service makes Celtic Dynamics a trusted partner in various industries, from biomedical factories and nursing homes to university buildings, corporate offices and multinational corporations, showcasing its versatility and adaptability.
Mapping the Journey between Energy Efficiency and Financial Savings
Its seamless audit process is rooted in precise analysis and actionable insights, making energy management more accessible and informed. Guided by a dedicated central manager, the process provides the clarity, coordination and efficiency needed to navigate what might otherwise be a maze of complex tasks.
The journey begins with a deep dive into the client’s operations, identifying hidden inefficiencies within equipment and processes. By uncovering patterns of energy waste that might otherwise go unnoticed, a comprehensive energy report is produced. It includes a custom roadmap to carbon neutrality, outlining various solutions, associated costs and recommended steps while highlighting grant opportunities best suited to the client’s goals.
An accompanying timeline offers clients a clear pathway, showing key milestones, such as completing installations by 2028 and achieving full carbon neutrality by 2030, with ESG targets aligned by 2027. This long-term vision, paired with actionable steps, helps clients plan and allocate budgets with confidence and foresight.
Celtic Dynamics also provides a thorough financial assessment, helping clients visualise the impact of their decisions. Its lifecycle assessment model contrasts environmental benefits with financial implications, offering transparent comparisons. For instance, rather than recommending a short-term $36,000 burner upgrade to temporarily reduce emissions, Celtic Dynamics might advise a strategic investment in future-ready infrastructure, such as $130,000 for heat pumps. Not only does this option provide a lasting solution, but it allows clients to capitalise on available grants, maximising long-term value. By mapping out these scenarios, clients can choose whether to invest in immediate, cost-effective upgrades or to prioritise long-term solutions for carbon neutrality by 2030.
Transparency is embedded throughout the process. Clients receive monthly updates detailing milestones, upcoming phases and opportunities for input on critical decisions, ensuring they remain fully informed.
Showcasing its audit service is a collaboration with Mowlam Healthcare’s decarbonisation initiative across its sites. Celtic Dynamics oversaw its design process and secured essential grants. Initially focused on requirements for ESG and energy management, the project evolved into a roadmap of upgrades— including solar, heat pumps, lighting, hot water upgrades, along with installing energy management systems.
The result? Mowlam Healthcare saved $1.2 million in energy costs across their sites while reducing CO2 emissions by more than 2,898 tons annually.
Smart Tech, Smarter Reporting
With the integration of AI, Celtic Dynamics has transformed its operations, delivering services faster and more efficiently. Tasks that once took days—like generating complex reports— now take mere hours, reducing a five-day process to a streamlined three-hour turnaround. But the power of AI at Celtic Dynamics goes beyond speed; it’s about enabling smarter decision-making through real-time insights that support more strategic choices.

This intelligence powers ESG Navigator, an AI-driven tool that functions similarly to ChatGPT and is available free of charge. ESG Navigator has reshaped how clients approach ESG reporting, making generating precise, detailed reports effortless. For clients seeking a more personalised experience, Celtic Dynamics offers ESG Journey, a hands-on approach to ESG implementation. This begins with immersive workshops focused on materiality and extends to ongoing training for local managers, ensuring each report reflects the client’s distinct values and priorities.
The outcome? ESG reports that authentically represent the client’s business identity, avoid generic templates and align closely with their sustainability goals.
Adding to its suite of innovations, Celtic Dynamics developed the Energy Guardian Certificate System, an internal tool designed to recognise clients’ ongoing sustainability efforts. Certificates are awarded at various milestones, marking clients’ progress on their path to a greener future. While this system is intended to become a full training and certification platform, it currently serves as a valuable re-engagement tool, keeping clients connected and motivated throughout their sustainability journey.
Uniting the Green Tech Team for a Sustainable Future
The journey towards sustainability is powered by a team that combines depth in energy expertise with a passion for innovation. From seasoned energy auditors and design specialists to project managers and enthusiastic engineering graduates, every member brings their unique strengths, creating a culture that is as forward-thinking as it is client-focused.
The team’s credentials speak to its strength. Many hold CEM Energy Manager certifications from the Association of Energy Engineers, a testament to their technical rigour. Supported by industry giants like IDA, Enterprise Ireland and SEAI, Celtic Dynamics has both the credibility and resources to back up its ambitions. Whether delivering a turnkey solution for small businesses or collaborating with larger enterprises on tailored projects, this team doesn’t just deliver results—it redefines what’s possible. Each project makes today’s green tech tomorrow’s standard, propelling a movement that’s setting new benchmarks in sustainability.
“Our goal is to be transparent with clients-sharing what’s realistic, what isn’t and what will truly serve them best,” says Walsh. “This commitment to integrity is what grounds every interaction, project and recommendation.”
Every day, the team builds on this trust by helping clients outline clear roadmaps for reaching carbon neutrality. It knows real progress happens where flexibility meets expertise, and at Celtic Dynamics, that blend is the key to unlocking lasting sustainable success.
