    Hi there-

    Re: NDBER for landlord areas in Apt buildings

    I am working on a design scheme - 5 storey Apt bldg - all apts require A2 rating which has been established .

    I am having diffiuculty achiving same or even A3 for the Landlord areas using NEAP

    Circulation spaces are heated and some block walls are adjacent to unheated spaces - giving rise to a U value of 1.13

    To achive A3 for these landlord areas - the analysis is indicating a significant ammout of PV ?

    Grateful for comments from anyone who has dealt with this type of scenario

    thanks in advance

    why would the circulation space be required to hit A2?

    once the apartments are, is the brief not met?

    Hi Sydthebeat

    Client requirement for A2 for both Apartments and Landlord areas

    HelpDesk assisting on varios NEAP inputs

    I may need to rerun the NEAP caclulation and see if a min A3 for the landlord areas is OK with a reasonable amout of PV

    By the way - are you aware of any forum - other that Boards / SEAI help desk - even a NEAP/DEAP Assessor operating for a fee - who might offer a type of BER calcaulation "check " service / advice ?

    i dont descol sorry.


    im not a ND assessor myself, just a domestic one, so im not sure of the ins and outs of teh common area assessment. A2 in this area seems way OTT to me though.
