The Ballaghaderreen SEC Energy Master Plan is funded and supported by the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) as part of it’s Sustainable Energy Communties program
Ballaghaderreen SEC Area Map
An Energy Master Plan helps communities understand the energy demand and supply. Every community is encouraged to look at energy efficiency first. This is because energy efficiency work is typically low risk and has high payback. The Energy Master Plan is also a live record of the community’s energy status and achievements. It will evolve to form the foundation for other applications and projects. For more information on the SEAI’s Energy Master Plan initiative, please go to this link
A Building Energy Rating Certificate, BER
This is an assessment of the building fabric and the heating systems of your home to establish a ‘state of play’ picture in relation to the energy required to supply hot water, to light and to keep your home at confortable temperatures.
A full description of the BER system is shown here: https://www.seai.ie/home-energy/building-energy-rating-ber/
