Specialist BER and DEC assessments for schools, colleges and education buildings, scheduled around the school year and the public-sector obligations that come with the sector.
A school is rarely one building: it is a campus of construction eras, from a 1950s core through 1990s extensions to a recent SEAI-grant-aided block, all sharing meters and plant. Rating it properly means zoning it properly, and education is one of the strongest-performing sectors in the national BER statistics precisely because its newer stock was built to standard; older blocks deserve assessment care so they are not dragged down by defaults.
Education buildings also live inside the public-sector obligation set: most school buildings over 250 square metres frequented by the public need an annual Display Energy Certificate alongside the BER, and boards of management are usually the ones who discover this late. Our DEC service and renewal reminders exist for exactly this case.
Surveys are scheduled around the timetable: midterms, holidays and after-hours slots are standard practice, not special requests. We zone the campus by construction era and use, gather the metered data the DEC needs while we are there, and produce one coherent file: BER, advisory report and DEC where required, with a renewal calendar so next year is not a surprise.
The advisory report matters more in education than almost anywhere: it is the document that turns into the energy section of a summer-works or capital application, in the same methodology the Department’s own frameworks recognise.
For boards and principals, the payoff is a compliance position that runs itself: certs current, DECs renewed each year before they lapse, and a costed upgrade list ready whenever funding rounds open. For patrons and ETBs with multiple schools, our portfolio programme handles the whole estate as one instruction.
