C1

What a C1 BER rating means

A C1 home uses 150 to 175 kWh/m²/yr. Typical modern standard. 141,475 certified homes in Ireland (10.2%) are rated C1.

Is a C1 good or bad?

A C1 home is among the more efficient in the country, with relatively low heating demand and running costs.

How to improve beyond C1

Homes at this level are already efficient; small gains come from controls, draught-proofing or solar PV.

The typical measures are grant-aided by SEAI. See the grants, or estimate your own home to get a tailored list.
