Here we detail a brief account of the services that our company provides. We are an energy consultancy company who provide one on one consultation to our clients prior to the beginning of construction or up to a stage where significant development has not yet begun. There are over seventy factors which can affect the energy performance of any dwelling however some are more important than others for example the main areas being:
- Ventilation
- Insulation of building elements
- Window and door systems
- Air tightness
- Water and space heating systems
- Lighting
- Control of the heating systems
- Thermal bridging of the dwelling
- Use of renewable energy systems
After consultation stage we provide a provisional report outlining the steps to be taken, the standards to be achieved and the ways to achieve them. At the completion stage of your home we provide a full certified Building Energy Rating from Sustainable Energy Ireland. As you can imagine the cost to developers would be far less than a one off self build, we give prices on a project to project basis usually giving a price in line with the number of units in the development; currently we have numerous developments on our books from small builders to large developers.
From the 1st of January 2009 all buildings that are to be sold or let are required by law to have a BER (Building Energy Rating) carried out. This applies to residential dwellings and to commercial units. The cost for an existing assessment varies, with a cluster of units in the one area getting the benefit of better prices due to less travel time costs etc. After January 1st we will be able to complete energy ratings in any area of the country and offer solutions to the numerous energy problems associated with existing homes nationwide.
I hope all the information above gives you an account of our company and if you have any further queries you can give us a call on 1890 622 226 or contact one of our branches nationwide.
