Building Energy Rating (BER)

Understand Your Property's Energy Efficiency

What is Building Energy Rating (BER)?

A Building Energy Rating (BER) is an assessment of the energy performance of a building. It indicates the energy efficiency rating of your property on a scale from A to G, with A-rated buildings being the most energy-efficient and G-rated buildings being the least. The BER certificate provides an overview of your building’s energy performance and helps identify opportunities for improving energy efficiency.

Why is BER Important?

Energy Efficiency: Identifies areas to improve your property’s energy performance.
Cost Savings: Helps reduce energy bills by pinpointing energy-efficient upgrades.
Environmental Impact: Contributes to reducing carbon footprint and promoting sustainability.
Property Value: Enhances the market value of your property by showcasing energy efficiency.
Compliance: Meets legal requirements for selling or renting a property in Ireland.

How Building Energy Rating ( BER ) is Assessed

A certified BER assessor will evaluate your property's energy usage, insulation, heating systems, and other factors that influence energy efficiency. The assessment results in a BER certificate, which rates the building on a scale from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient).

Benefits of a High BER Rating

Lower Energy Bills: Significant savings on heating and electricity costs.
Increased Comfort: Better insulation and heating systems enhance indoor comfort.
Eco-Friendly: Lower greenhouse gas emissions contribute to a healthier planet.
Higher Property Value: Energy-efficient homes are more attractive to buyers and tenants.
Government Incentives: Eligibility for grants and incentives for energy upgrades.
