Do I Need A BER?
From the 1st of January 2009, all residential properties
for sale or for rent will require a Building Energy Rating
(BER) Certificate. Therefore, if you are selling or letting
a residential property, you are legally required to hold a
BER Certificate.
What Is BER?
A BER is a measure of how well your property fairs in terms
of energy consumption and the hence amount of CO2
generated by annual energy needs. When the BER is completed,
a property is assigned a rating, from A to G, where A is best
and G is worst. To determine the rating, many factors are
considered in detail such as energy use for heating and also
ventilation and lighting.
How long will a BER certificate last?
A BER Certificate is valid for 10 years.
Who carries out the BER Assessment?
The BER assessment is carried out by a trained and registered
BER assessor.
Do I need a BER to participate in the HES scheme?
A BER assessment is not required for participation in the
HES scheme. However, a BER carried out prior to works provides
valuable isights to a homeowner about which upgrade energy
improvement measures measures best suite their property. A
BER conducted after the measures are completed, objectively
demonstrates the positive impact to the BER. A HES grant of
€200 is only available where a BER is completed BEFORE
and AFTER upgrade measures and implemented to the property.
