Building Energy Rating CERT, Carnew BER

This is a 2 bedroom house in Carnew Co Wicklow, this is quite a small house with a simple heating system so the price is very low for a ber.

The BER CERT price for a 2 bedroom house in Wicklow is €120.

The main points failing this house BER Cert are:

• The windows are pre-2004 construction (poor U-Value)

• Open fire with a back boiler that is losing heat up the chimney

• The radiator system has no control over them e.g no TRV or Room stat

• The hot water cylinder has no Thermostatic controls
• The attic insulation is only 100mm this would need to be increased to 300mm
• Poor wall insulation

Overall the house got a Ber rating of F, If the homeowner was to install new attic insulation, install TRVs on the radiators, install a thermostat on the hot water cylinder, maybe install a stove with a back boiler.

The ber would be improved to a D1 building energy rating.
