An independent BER Assessor certificate will calculate your homes carbon dioxide emissions, and review if your home achieves the required 40% improvement in energy efficiency.
This is a whole building assessment and takes into account:
- Building Fabric – insulation levels, glazing performance, air tightness, cold bridging, etc
- Heating systems controls.
- Renewable Energy Technology – Solar hot water panels, Photovoltaics, Wind turbines etc.
- Anything that affects the overall energy performance of the building for lighting, water and space heating.

The new building regulations aim to see:
- A 40% improvement in energy efficiency in All Dwellings from July 2008.
- A 40% reduction in Carbon Dioxide emissions in new dwellings from July 2008.
- Household use of renewable energy supply (e.g. solar panel, wood pellet) from July 2008.
