Will Ireland need more energy storage?
With a target of 80% renewable electricity from intermittent sources on our grid by , Ireland will require a significant amount of energy storage in the years to come.
What is the cost optimal energy performance level?
The cost optimal energy performance level is equivalent to a B2 BER. The improvement in performance to this new NZEB standard is achieved by, among other things, advancing the air tightness performance of the building, which in turn requires more effective ventilation systems.
How does the Energy Directive affect the energy performance of buildings?
The Directive sets requirements for Member States to improve the energy performance of buildings and make an important contribution to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. A revised Technical Guidance Document, L (Conservation of Fuel and Energy) Dwellings has been published to accompany the Regulations.
Do buildings use electricity as heating fuel?
The analysis examined buildings that had a Building Energy Rating (BER) audit conducted and used electricity as their main space heating fuel. The release complements recent CSO releases combining similar data sets for residential buildings. There is a much greater variety in size and in uses of electricity in non-domestic buildings.
Is the CSO combining non-domestic building energy ratings and electricity meter data?
Commenting on the release Dympna Corry, Statistician in the Environment and Climate Division, said: "This is the first time the Central Statistics Office (CSO) has combined the non-domestic building energy ratings and electricity meter datasets.
How much electricity does a business premises use per square metre?
Average electricity consumption per square metre in varied from: 133 kWh for A and B rated business premises; 124 kWh for C rated business premises; 106 kWh for D rated business premises; 98 kWh for E rated business premises; and 98 kWh per square metre for F and G rated business premises (see Table 5B).

Energy storage is the counterweight to intermittent renewable generation capacity, such as wind and solar power, and enables balancing of the energy system by matching supply and demand. With a target of 80% renewable electricity from intermittent sources on our grid by , Ireland will require a
More energy-efficient business premises that were built during to had more floor area. A and B rated non-residential buildings had an average of 571 square metres compared with an average of 331 square metres for C rated building and 248 square metres for F and G ratings. (see Table 4C)
