SERVICES : Building Energy Rating (BER)

Building Energy Ratings (BERs) are required for new dwellings that applied for planning permission after 1st January 2007 under the European Communities (Energy Performance of Buildings) Regulations 2006 (S.I. No. 666 of 2006). 

It is the responsibility of all building owners to produce a BER for inspection by prospective purchasers.

A person offering a new dwelling for sale or letting (whether in writing or otherwise) is required to produce a copy of the BER to the building energy control authority for the area on demand and to any person expressing an interest in purchasing or renting the relevant building if planning permission was applied on or after 1st January 2007.
