BER survey of Tipp council homes

Tipperary Energy Agency has commenced a Building Energy Rating (BER) audit of local authority housing.

At the May meeting of Tipperary Co Council, Cllr Séamie Morris called for a BER survey of the council's housing stock. With the introduction of carbon tax, the council has to bring all of its houses up to an acceptable level, he said.

Senior Executive Officer Marion O'Neill said Tipperary Energy Agency has started a BER audit and she expected to have an update for the council's next meeting.
