    When you have to follow the latest Technical Guidance note issued by SEAI ! - thats when !! - see extract attached

    It is only the SEAI that would write a 2 page explanation to describe how a mid terrace or semi detached house should be described as a Detached house in BER assessments.

    This is particularly crazy when you consider that the dwelling type selected in DEAP does not have any impact on the BER rating.

    I suspect that this been "explained" by SEAI to justify handing out a load of penalty points to assessors at audit who "incorrectly" identified the house type.

    Thankfully this has not happened to me, but you have been warned !!

    Hey, you can laugh, but some poor guy's job depends on him coming up with this good stuff every month.

    Yes. I must agree the latest technical bulletin left me bemused.
