New figures indicate that Clare has remained the county with the lowest percentage of non-domestic buildings to receive an ‘A’ BER rating.
A new report from the Central Statistics Office for the second quarter of 2024 have shown that just 1% of the buildings audited received an ‘A’ grade.
The Central Statistics Office report of Non-Domestic Building Energy Ratings has revealed that from between May and June, Clare is the county with the lowest percentage of A grade BER buildings.
Out of the 1,985 buildings in the county audited, just 1% scored the highest possible grade – representing a total of 20 buildings to achieve this score.
Clare remains the County with the lowest number of A rated BER buildings as the county also scored 1% for the first quarter of 2024 – while the total has dropped from 2% seen this time last year.
There are two other regions in the country that were judged to also have 1% of ‘A’ rated buildings – these being Waterford City and Cork City.
When incorporated into county-by-county statistics however, Clare remains the only county in Ireland to have 1% of non-domestic buildings to score in that category.
The majority of the buildings were given a C rating with 30% of properties awarded either a C1, C2 or C3.
The grades with the highest percentage scored in the county were C3 and G with 12% each – a representation of 235 buildings to achieve this score.
