Blackrock School

In order to qualify for a grant for insulation we submitted figures and data so that our Building Energy Rating (BER) could be measured. We are rated on a CO2 Emissions scale from 0 to 200 (0 being best). The rating for a typical building such as our school would average a reading of 105. Our BER is 52. This is a great achievement for a building which has increased in capacity in stages over a century -1899, 1931, 1977 and 2002. Our various insulation initiatives over the years are proving benefical.
