What is the basis for BER assessment?

BER is a certificate that is issued with the intention of providing a guide line to any prospective building buyer or a tenant, what they will be in for as far as energy bills are concerned if they go ahead with their purchase or renting. The accompanying Advisory Report gives an idea what they or the property dealer can do to improve the situation.

The attributes of a building considered in the BER assessment are:

  • Roof, wall and Floor dimensions
  • Window and Door sizes and orientations
  • Construction type and level of insulation
  • Ventilation and Air leakage
  • Usage of Renewable Energy and Heating system in use
  • Distribution and control of the lighting system

The energy consumption and CO2 emissions for the purpose of a BER certification is referred to in terms of Annual usages and the resultant annual emissions.
