A BER is required for all new dwellings from July 1st 2008 and all existing dwellings from 1st January 2009. It is valid for a period of 10 years unless there is a material change to the building, for example an extension to the building or change in heating system. A BER makes the energy performance of a home visible to prospective buyers and tenants and enables them to take energy performance into consideration in their next house purchase or rental decision. Strutec offer the following services:

• Domestic energy rating certs for houses and apartments
