Industrial BER Assessment Expertise
Industrial buildings present their own set of assessment challenges. Large open-span structures, high-bay lighting, loading dock doors, process heating, and minimal insulation are all common features that need to be accurately captured. Our assessors have deep experience with industrial properties and understand how to model these characteristics correctly in the SEAI-approved software.
We regularly assess warehouses, logistics hubs, data centres, food processing plants, light industrial units, and heavy manufacturing facilities across Ireland. Whether your building is a simple unheated storage shed or a complex multi-zone factory, we have the qualifications and experience to handle it.
Understanding Building Categories
Commercial buildings in Ireland are classified into categories for BER assessment purposes. Category 3 covers simpler naturally-ventilated buildings like small workshops. Category 4 covers the majority of commercial buildings including offices, warehouses, and retail units. Category 5 covers the most complex building types such as factories with process energy.
Our assessors hold the qualifications required for all three categories, meaning we can assess any industrial building regardless of its complexity. This is important — not all BER assessors are qualified for Category 5 buildings, which require a Level 8 qualification and professional body membership.
Large or Complex Building?
For industrial buildings over 5,000m², we recommend a brief phone call before quoting so we can understand the building's systems and provide an accurate price. Call us on 087 777 4155 or request a callback.
Reducing Energy Costs in Industrial Buildings
Industrial buildings often have significant potential for energy savings. Our advisory report identifies practical improvements — from upgrading high-bay lighting to LED, improving insulation on roller doors, or installing destratification fans to push warm air back down from high ceilings. These improvements can reduce heating and lighting costs substantially while improving your BER rating for future sales or leases.
