If you plan on selling or renting a property a Building Energy Rating (BER) is required.

A BER certificate indicates your building's energy performance. It is similar to the energy label for household appliances.

The certificate rates your building on a scale of A-G. A-rated homes are the most energy efficient and will tend to have the lowest energy bills. G-rated are the least energy efficient.

The building control authority has powers to enforce compliance with the regulations. Further information may be found at https://www.seai.ie/energy-ratings/building-energy-rating-ber/
