Commercial BER Ireland – Building Energy Rating Certs for Commercial properties
Wednesday, April 1st, 2009Since January 1st 2009 all commercial buildings being sold or rented in Ireland require a Building Energy Rating (BER).
When do I need a BER Cert?
Whereas a BER Cert is only required prior to a sale for an owner occupied property, the occupants of all rented property throughout the country are entitled to be furnished with a BER cert by the building owner.
This means that countless thousands of commercial properties throughout Ireland now require BER certification.
Commercial BER
Commercial BER certs are provided by specialist BER assessors who have attained a Non Domestic BER Certification of Level 3 or above from Sustainable Energy Ireland. This is a much more specialised discipline and availability of qualified assessors is much more limited than for domestic assessors.
At BER-Directory.com we recommend National Energy Assessors (NEA) who can be contacted at www.nea.ie or by phone: 021 461 4293
