The BER
"The amount of carbon dioxide in kilograms emitted per square
metre of floor area per year as the result of the provision of
heating, cooling, hot water, ventilation and internal fixed lighting.
This may be in the form of a prediction at design stage or a
prediction based on the as-built dwelling, taking into account the
results of air permeability tests. It is calculated using the SAP
energy calculation tool (for details refer to Appendix 6.3). "
is the weight of carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted by the actual building
per m² of floor area. BER "The amount of carbon
