Would you like to improve your building energy rating?

• Under the new Building Energy Rating scheme (BER) directives, all homes being built, sold or rented require a Building Energy Rating.


• This rating assessment which is a legal requirement for all new homes, is based on the amount of energy used per square metre (kWhr/m²/annum) and is graded on a rating from A1 to G


• Timber Frame Houses score highly as they are warmer, more economical to run and emit less CO2 into the environment than their masonry counterparts, thus reducing their impact on the environment


• Based on the characteristics of your home, its energy efficiency is determined using the DEAP (Dwelling Energy Assessment Procedure) software, which is now necessary to check for compliance, under the relevant building regulations.
