From 24 May 2026, Ireland’s Building Energy Rating (BER) system is getting a significant update. Designed to align with the EU’s Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD), the new scale simplifies how energy performance is communicated making it clearer for homeowners, buyers, and tenants alike.

For KORE Retrofit, this change is more than just a new label it’s an opportunity to better communicate performance, value, and the pathway to an energy-efficient home.

A Building Energy Rating (BER) is essential for homeowners, buyers, and landlords in Ireland. Learn how it's calculated, why it matters, and how improving your rating can lower energy bills, increase property value, and unlock grant opportunities.
