Current Building Regulations

We can help you comply with the current building regulations. All new build dwellings must comply with Part L as well as the other sections of the Irish Building Regulations.

The Part L document sets out maximum energy usage and carbon emission levels for the dwellings. It also states that all new buildings must incorporate some form of renewable energy technology to help reduce the use of fossil fuels to heat the dwelling or to reduce the primary electricity usage.

The most popular renewable energy sources used are solar panels for hot water, solar PV for electricity generation and heat pumps for heating and hot water. Our team at Pipelife can give excellent guidance and advice on how to achieve compliance with the current building regulations in the most cost effective manner. Why not email us your drawings and we can provide you with a free advice and a free no obligation quotation?

BER Certificate

BER stands for Building Energy Rating and a BER certificate is a label that tells you about the energy efficiency of a building. BERs are a standardised way of rating and comparing the energy performance of different buildings so they allow prospective home buyers or tenants to judge the likely running costs of a property and easily compare one property to another.

A BER certificate is only issued after a building has been surveyed by a qualified BER assessor, the building is then rated on an energy efficiency scale ranging from A, the most efficient, to G, the least efficient.

DEAP

To prove compliance with the current building regulations, builders and designers now must use software called DEAP (Dwelling Energy Assessment Procedure) which is used to generate BER certificates. This assesses whether you have the right mix of orientation, insulation, thermal bridge free construction, airtightness and heat recovery from ventilation and other building factors to minimise overall heat loss and energy usage by the building.

BER assessors also need to know about heating system efficiency, controls and renewable energy systems. A successful DEAP assessment is required for all new dwellings and a BER rating of A3 or better. Pipelife can provide all the technical data and advice that the BER assessor requires for inputting the data relating to our systems into the DEAP software.
