A Building Energy Rating (BER) certificate rates your home’s energy performance on a scale between A and G.

A-rated homes are the most energy efficient while G-rated are the least energy efficient.

When do you require a BER?

A Building Energy Rating (BER) is required if a building is offered for sale or for rent.

If you plan on selling or renting a property a Building Energy Rating (BER) is required.

An updated BER cert is also required to avail of SEAI home improvement grants.

A BER certificate indicates your building’s energy performance. It is similar to the energy label for household appliances.
