BER – Building Energy Rating – What is it?
A BER is similar to the energy label for a household electrical appliance like your fridge. The label has a scale of A-G. A-rated homes are the most energy efficient and G the least efficient.
From the 1st of January 2009 a BER certificate will be compulsory for all homes being sold or rented.
Specially trained BER assessors, registered by Sustainable Energy Ireland (SEI), will carry out BER’s.
