Building Energy Rating (BER) Assessments
Secure the BER certificate you need - fast, accurate and hassle‑free. Q50’s SEAI‑registered assessors deliver residential and commercial BER ratings across Ireland.
Why a BER Cert Matters
A Building Energy Rating scores a property’s energy performance on a scale of A1 (best) to G (worst). Since 2009 a valid BER is legally required when you sell, rent or advertise a property, and from 2022 it is also mandatory for most SEAI home‑energy grants.
A higher rating can:
-
Increase resale and rental value
-
Cut heating bills and carbon emissions
-
Unlock green‑mortgage discounts and upgrade grants
-
Provide a roadmap for future energy improvements
Q50’s BER Assessment Service
1. On‑site survey – We record floor areas, fabric build‑ups, window specs, ventilation strategy and renewable systems. For commercial buildings we log lighting and HVAC details.
2. Energy modelling – Using DEAP 4 (dwellings) or NEAP (non‑domestic) software, we calculate primary energy use, CO₂ emissions and the provisional rating.
3. Certificate & Advisory Report – Within 48 hours you receive the official BER Certificate, lodged on the SEAI database, plus an easy‑to‑follow report outlining cost‑effective upgrades to reach the next rating band.
We also have the option to bundle with Air Tightness Testing and Ventilation Validation to streamline compliance in one visit.
