EU Taxonomy Report FAQs
Common questions about EU Taxonomy assessments for Irish buildings
An EU Taxonomy Report assesses whether a building meets the EU's environmental sustainability criteria. It evaluates climate mitigation, climate adaptation, and Do No Significant Harm (DNSH) requirements to determine if a property qualifies as environmentally sustainable under EU regulations.
EU Taxonomy Reports are required by property investors, asset managers, real estate funds, and financial institutions subject to SFDR (Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation). They're essential for anyone acquiring, owning, or financing commercial real estate who needs to demonstrate sustainability alignment to investors or regulators.
A typical EU Taxonomy assessment takes 2-4 weeks from initial consultation to final report delivery. The timeline depends on building complexity, the number of properties, documentation availability, and site access scheduling. Portfolio assessments may take longer.
We require: existing BER certificates, building floor plans and specifications, HVAC and building services details, 12 months of energy consumption data, water consumption records, and any existing environmental or sustainability assessments. We provide a comprehensive checklist at the consultation stage.
Pricing is based on building size (square metres), building type and complexity, the number of properties in a portfolio, documentation completeness, and location. We offer competitive rates for multi-property portfolios. Contact us for a tailored quote.

A BER (Building Energy Rating) measures a building's energy performance on an A-G scale. The EU Taxonomy is broader, assessing alignment with EU environmental sustainability criteria including climate mitigation, climate adaptation, water, pollution, biodiversity, and circular economy. BER data informs part of the EU Taxonomy assessment, but they serve different purposes.
Generally, buildings need to be in the top 15% of energy performance in their national stock to meet EU Taxonomy climate mitigation criteria. For Irish buildings, this typically requires a BER of B3 or better. However, buildings may qualify through renovation activities or other pathways.
