About BER

A Building Energy Rating (BER) is an assessment of a building's energy performance. It shows how much energy your home uses and how much CO2 it produces. The rating is on a scale from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). A BER certificate is required when selling or renting a property in Ireland.
