It costs €2000 for the 1 week course, €1000 to register with SEI and €100 each year thereafter. SEI also gets €35 for each cert issued.
Now that is some scam.
It says you need a level 6 craft qualification or relevant life experience.Can anyone follow these steps are there prerequisites (e.g. engineering diploma or professional membership or even Leaving Cert)?
as for blaming the greens i'm fairly sure this is an EU mandated scheme that we are already a couple of years behind in implementing.
That sums it up nicely. Somewhere along the line a good idea (to make developers build houses and apartments that were energy efficient) got sidetracked by some clerk to create a costly jungle of mindless red tape that just created opportunity for BER test firms.It's not that the idea is bad...it's the way we go about it that's the problem.
I'm not a bit surprised and should I be selling I'll be going with the Assessor who'll give me the best rating. This whole scheme is madness.Just as i suspected. I got a BER Assessor (€150 per apartment) to rate 2 apartments. I offered him €50 each for a better rating than what he got. He played with a few figures and phoned me back.
I wont say what happened. Lets just say im happy.

are you not all missing the point? this document will be used by purchasers and renters of properties in order to inform them whether the house they're buying/renting will have high or low energy bills. if i was buying a house and found 2 that were very similar price wise i think the BER would definitely have an impact on which i would buy, it would also give me leverage to seek a lower price from a lower BER rated house owner.

I hope you reported him/her. Its is people like them who ruin it for everyone else. It is an automatic strike off offence.
