About Greenpro Energy Consultants
GREENPRO ENERGY CONSULTANTS LTD

Bobby graduated from Waterford Institute of Technology with an Honours Degree in Construction Management in 2005 and went on to work on a number of large projects as a site engineer. With the introduction of the Building Energy Rating (BER) scheme, he successfully completed the BER Assessors training programme and registered as both a domestic and commercial BER Assessor. He is also a registered DEC Assessor and an NSAI registered Air Tightness Tester.

DOMESTIC BER CERTS
WHAT IS A DOMESTIC BER CERT?
A Building Energy Rating Certificate or BER is essentially an energy label for you building similar to what you would see on an electrical appliance. A BER Cert gives an indication of how energy efficient a building is and is graded on a scale of A-G. An A rated building has the best energy efficiency while a G rated building will have the worst efficiency.
The purpose of a BER Cert is to enable prospective buyers or tenants of a building understand how energy efficient a building is and to gauge their energy costs. An A rated building will typically have lower energy costs that that of an identical G rated building. A BER Cert is accompanied by an Advisory Report which highlights areas where potential energy improvements can be made to improve the comfort of the property and help reduce energy costs.
WHO NEEDS A BER CERT?
A BER Cert must be provided by the seller of a property to prospective buyers or tenants when the building is constructed sold or rented. A BER Cert is compulsory for all new buildings and all existing buildings for sale or rent after the 1st January 2009. A BER Cert is also required if you are applying for an SEAI energy upgrade grant. The following buildings are exempt from requiring a BER Cert.
WHAT IS PART L COMPLIANCE?
All new dwellings must be built in accordance with Part L of the building regulations. Part L compliance is demonstrated using the Dwelling Energy Assessment Procedure (DEAP) as published by SEAI. The key factors affecting compliance are
Air Tightness test result which must be 7m3/hr/m2 or better Carbon Performance Coefficient which must be below 0.46 Energy Performance Coefficient which must be below 0.40 U-values of building elements Renewable contribution
WHAT IS AIR TIGHTNESS TESTING?
Air tightness testing also known as blower door testing is now mandatory for all new dwellings. Air tightness testing should be carried out on all development sites including single dwelling developments. In a housing development at least one test per dwelling type is required and a testing regime as outlined in Table 4 of TGD L must be followed. Testing must be carried out by persons certified by an independent third party such as NSAI.
In order to achieve compliance with the building regulations a dwelling must achieve a test result of 7m3/hr/m2 or below when tested at 50 Pascals pressure difference. The result of the test is used in the Dwelling Energy Assessment Procedure (DEAP) when calculating the BER rating of a dwelling. However, test results far better than this backstop value are usually required in order to comply with Part L of the building regulations. A test result of between 3m3/hr/m2 and 5m3/hr/m2 is generally regarded as best practice for naturally ventilated dwellings while test results less than 3m3/hr/m2 are generally recommended for mechanically ventilated dwellings.
