3. FIBER will calculate your BER, CDER and MPCDER values and contact you to inform you of the values. This should take no more than 1 week.

4. FIBER will invoice you for the outstanding fee for the BER calculations and certificate.

5. Once payment has been received FIBER will validate and register the BER certificate with Sustainable Energy Ireland (SEI)

6. FIBER will issue you with your BER certificate and calculations.

7. Note that you should inform SEI of any future changes made to your building which may affect the energy rating either via FIBER or another energy assessor.

If you have any issues arising with your BER certificate please contact us assessors@fiber.ie and we will be happy to help. Note that calculations are based upon data signed off by your engineer / architect / planning consultant / builder – FIBER cannot be held responsible for any errors in this data.
