Certificate In Building Energy Rating

The European Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) came into force in Ireland in January 2006. A central aim of the Directive is to allow building purchasers and leaseholders to clearly establish the energy efficiency of any building in which they are considering acquiring an interest. Buildings will be given an energy label, similar to that used for electrical appliances at present.

New Dwellings, for which planning is applied for after the 1st of January 2007, will require a Building Energy Rating (BER) when constructed, sold or rented. From January 2009 existing buildings, when sold or rented, will require a BER. BERs can only be issued by qualified independent assessors.

The programme has been developed and will be delivered as a partnership between Tipperary Institute and the Association of Irish Energy Agencies (AIEA).

This programme is targeted at architects, engineers and those involved in the construction industry and related services.

For further information on the BER Training

Display Campaign

In May of this year all AIEA members joined the European Display Campaign, which is aimed at encouraging Municipalities to publicly display the performance of their buildings in terms of energy consumption, CO2 emissions and water consumption. This campaign preempts the impending European Performance in Buildings Directive where all buildings will be required to have audits undertaken on their energy performance. for further information please click here
