ENERGY SERVICES
In the current climate of increasing energy costs, Mackey Energy &
Planning Services provide a comprehensive BER and energy assessment
catering for the domestic and non-domestic sector. Our Air Tightness
Testing and Thermal Imaging service compliments our BER Assessments
providing an “All-In” energy assessment of your property.
BER Ratings (Domestic)
A Building Energy Rating or BER is similar to the energy label on your
fridge with a scale of A-G. A-rated homes are the most energy efficient
and G the least efficient.
From 1st January 2009, a BER certificate became compulsory for all
homes being sold or offered for rent. If you are buying or about to
rent a house or apartment now, you are entitled to a BER – so
ask the seller/landlord or their agent.
Mackey Energy & Planning Services offer a comprehensive BER service
for the Domestic sector at competitive prices.
Display Energy Certificate (DEC) Assessor
From 1 January 2009, all public buildings with a gross internal floor
area greater than 1000m2 are required to display a Display Energy Certificate
in a prominent place clearly visible to the public. This requirement
is a consequence of the transposition into Irish legislation of Article
7(3) of the Energy Performance in Buildings Directive.
Mackey Energy & Planning Services are fully qualified and SEI Registered
to prepare Display Energy Certificates for large public Buildings.
Air Tightness Testing
Air Tightness Testing identifies areas of the building that are experiencing
heat loss through gaps and cracks in the envelope of the building fabric.
From the 1st of July 2008 dwellings that apply for planning permission
will require an Air Pressure Test
The aim of air tightness testing is to measure the flow of air within
a building and identify areas that are experiencing heat loss. Improving
the air tightness of a building is one of the most cost effective ways
of improving energy efficiency.
Mackey Energy & Planning Services provides a comprehensive Air
Pressure Testing Service for domestic and non-domestic buildings in
line with current building regulations.
Thermal Imaging
By providing a Thermal Imaging service Mackey Energy & Planning
Services will be able to offer a comprehensive energy assessment service.
Thermal Imaging identifies heat loss through a building fabric and helps
evaluate the correct improvements to make the house energy efficient
and save money as well as improving comfort levels for occupants.
MEPS is Registered as a Level 1 Thermographer with the internationally
recognised Infrared Training Centre (ITC).
Energy Audits
Mackey Energy & Planning Services can provide a complete energy
audit on your property identifying areas of the building fabric where
heat loss can be limited through the use of the latest technology and
as a result reduce your monthly heating bills.
