Building Regulations - Energy
The Building Regulations in Ireland set clear requirements for building energy performance. These may impact the U-value you need to achieve on both new build and refurbishment projects.
What are the Building Regulations for energy efficiency in Ireland?
The energy efficiency requirements for buildings are contained in Part L of the Building Regulations in Republic of Ireland and Part F of the Building Regulations in Northern Ireland. The regulations are supported with guidance documents, known as the Technical Guidance Documents L in Republic of Ireland and the Technical Booklets F in Northern Ireland. These guidance documents give specific guidance on how to reach compliance on your project.
Significant updates have recently been introduced to these regulations and the supporting guidance documents across Ireland. The links below will give you more information on the specific changes.
