The Sustainable Retrofit: Innovative Heat Pumps for Enhanced BER Ratings and Tenant Attraction in Irish Commercial Buildings

To remain competitive, you need a proactive solution – and customized heat pump systems offer a powerful answer.


This study by GS Renewable explores the potential of these systems to dramatically improve Building Energy Ratings (BER) in existing Irish commercial buildings. Here's why you need to act now, not only to seize opportunities but also to mitigate potential risks:


Financial Advantage & Sustainability Leadership:

  • Reduced Energy Bills: Lower energy consumption translates to significant annual operating expense savings, boosting your bottom line.


  • Government Grants: The Irish government actively supports renewable energy solutions. Grants like the Support Scheme for Renewable Heat offer up to 40% back on customized heat pump investments.

  • Enhanced BER Ratings: Buildings with high BER ratings are in high demand, attracting quality tenants and commanding higher rental yields.

Align with Tenant ESG Priorities:


Today's tenants prioritize sustainability. High-quality tenants increasingly seek office space with strong ESG credentials. Customized heat pump systems demonstrate your commitment to environmental responsibility, making your buildings magnets for ESG-focused businesses.

Mitigating Risks in the Irish Commercial Real Estate Market:


While customized heat pumps offer significant advantages, it's important to acknowledge potential risks associated with commercial real estate investment in Ireland:


  • Reputational Risk: Buildings with low BER ratings can damage your company's reputation for sustainability, especially if ESG factors are a growing priority for your investors.

  • Financial Risk: Rising energy costs can significantly increase operating expenses for buildings with inefficient heating systems. Additionally, if regulations around energy efficiency tighten, non-compliant buildings could face fines or restrictions in the future.

  • Climate Risk: Climate change is a growing concern for investors. Buildings with high carbon footprints could become less desirable, impacting property values and tenant acquisition.

  • Disclosure Risk: New regulations may require increased transparency on a building's energy performance. Failure to disclose this information could lead to compliance issues and reputational risk.
