What We Do

Killawatt was established to provide Building Energy Rating (BER) Assessment services nationwide. With an extensive Engineering and Project Management background in the commercial, retail, residential and food sectors Killawatt know the importance of providing a professional and efficient service to our clients and we pride ourselves in our reputation.

At Killawatt we survey your building and compute this data to assess its energy rating. This involves carrying out an onsite survey to establish dimensions, materials and services e.g. lighting and heating for the building. This data is then analysed in a software programme (DEAP for domestic, NEAP for non-domestic and DEC_Tool for public buildings) to produce a Building Energy Rating Cert (BER Certificate) or DEC certificate.

This calculation produces an energy rating and advisory report specific to the individual building, which we review and present to the client.

We take the client through the assessment and the advisory report and advise them on what methods and steps they can take to increase the energy rating of their building. This is broken down into short, medium and long term gain.
