Domestic Building Energy Ratings
Domestic Building Energy Ratings (BER) data is collected by BER assessors when they carry out BER audits. The Domestic BER database is administered by the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI). The purpose of the Domestic Building Energy Ratings release is to analyse on a quarterly basis the energy ratings and other characteristics of dwellings on the Domestic BER database.
The legal basis for BER audits is S.I. No. 243/2012 – European Union (Energy Performance of Buildings) Regulations 2012. The Domestic BER data is obtained by the CSO from the SEAI under Section 30 of the Statistics Act 1993.
Our results are only ever made available to the public in aggregate form, and we make sure that it is impossible for individuals or businesses to be identified. Anonymised survey information may be provided to other government departments, approved organisations, and approved researchers for statistical purposes only.
Yes. All information supplied to the CSO is treated as strictly confidential. The Statistics Act 1993 sets stringent confidentiality standards: information collected may be used only for statistical purposes and no details that might be related to an identifiable person or business undertaking may be divulged to any other government department or body.
The data will be retained as we need a long time series to understand trends in environment statistics.
