Question:

483. Deputy Sorca Clarke asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the BER rating of each of the buildings in the Houses of the Oireachtas. [40900/22]

Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform

There have been no BER certificates prepared for the individual buildings in the Houses of the Oireachtas. However, all buildings on the Leinster House campus, incorporating over 100,000 square metres of floor area, are included on a single Display Energy Certificate (DEC). This is a type of energy rating which is based on actual energy consumption in the campus. The most recent DEC rating for the campus was a D1.
