The Building Energy Rating (BER) Certificate looks like a sticker you might see on electrical equipment’s like fridges, rating the energy efficiency on color graded scale that is from most efficient to the least efficient. A BER (Building Energy Rating) is an energy label for a dwelling whether commercial or residential. Since the 1st of January it is required by law, that when a new residential building is constructed, a BER is provided to the prospective buyer by the owner.  Being the 1^st of January 2009, after the Republic of Ireland 3 weeks and legislation was introduced requiring all the homes and apartments offered for sale or rent to have a BER certificate.

The BER has to be carried out by the specialized professionals, qualified and trained in the job. They have to do registration with the SEI, the ultimate authority responsible for managing and maintaining the scheme. The person offering a home for sale or rent is required to engage a BER assessor to carry out Building Energy Rating assessment. The BER is calculated using information obtained from a domestic or non-domestic buildings energy use for space heating, water heating, ventilation and lighting and also calculated using the Dwelling Energy Assessment Procedure (DEAP) software produced by Sustainable Energy Ireland (SEI).
