Every energy certification and compliance service your new build project needs — from design stage through to final sign-off and SEAI registration.
A provisional BER is your design-stage energy assessment — it models the energy performance of your proposed building based on architectural drawings, specifications, and proposed heating systems. It's a mandatory requirement before you submit a commencement notice under SI 9 of 2014.
We assess your design against the requirements of TGD Part L (Conservation of Fuel and Energy) and calculate the Building Energy Rating your dwelling will achieve when built to specification. If the design falls short of the minimum A2/A3 rating required for new dwellings, we identify exactly where the shortfall is and recommend the most cost-effective changes.
Send us your drawings and we'll have your provisional BER back within 48 hours.

We conduct an on-site inspection to verify that the building was constructed in accordance with the energy specifications. We check insulation installation quality, heating system installation, window and door specs, and overall envelope integrity. The final BER reflects actual construction — not just design intent.
Book your final BER inspection — we typically schedule within 48 hours of your request.
Book InspectionPart L of the Irish Building Regulations — the Technical Guidance Document on Conservation of Fuel and Energy — sets the energy performance standards that every new dwelling must achieve. Since the 2019 revision (which took effect for commencement notices filed from 1 November 2019), these standards are among the most demanding in Europe.
Our Part L compliance service goes beyond the basic BER. We produce the complete compliance documentation package that Building Control requires, including energy performance calculations, elemental compliance checks, and the formal compliance report. We work with you from the design stage to ensure your project meets every requirement first time.
We produce the complete Part L compliance package for Building Control submission.
Get a QuoteSince November 2019, every new dwelling in Ireland must achieve Nearly Zero Energy Building (NZEB) status. This is an EU-driven requirement under the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD), implemented in Ireland through the revised Part L 2019.
NZEB requires that a significant portion of a building's near-zero or very low energy consumption comes from renewable sources. In practice, this means achieving a Renewable Energy Ratio (RER) of at least 20% — which typically requires heat pumps, solar PV, solar thermal, or a combination of renewable technologies.
We'll review your design and advise on the most cost-effective route to NZEB compliance.
Get Expert AdviceAirtightness testing (also called a blower door test) measures the air permeability of your building envelope — how much air leaks in and out through gaps, cracks, and poorly sealed junctions. Under Part L 2019, all new dwellings must be airtightness tested, and results must be within defined limits.
We bring calibrated blower door equipment to your site, depressurise the building to 50 Pascals, and measure the air changes per hour (ACH). The result feeds directly into your BER calculation and has a significant impact on the final energy rating.
We'll schedule your test at the optimum build stage — and advise on preparation to maximise your result.
