BER Assessments in Rathfarnham
Rathfarnham and Dublin 16 sits between the Dublin Mountains and the city, with housing reflecting several decades of suburban expansion. The area around Rathfarnham village has charming older homes from the 1920s–50s, while the major estates of Knocklyon, Ballyboden and Scholarstown were developed primarily in the 1970s–90s. These estates are predominantly semi-detached and detached houses with cavity block wall construction. The Edmondstown and Ballyboden Road areas include some larger period properties and farmhouse conversions. Most pre-2000 homes in Dublin 16 without upgrades rate D1 to E1 on the BER scale.

BER Tips for Rathfarnham Homeowners
Knocklyon's large 1980s housing estates are some of the best candidates in Dublin for a cost-effective BER upgrade. Cavity wall insulation, an attic top-up from 100mm to 300mm, and a boiler upgrade can move a typical D-rated Knocklyon semi to a B3, making it eligible for green mortgage products. Older homes in the Rathfarnham village area often have solid walls requiring dry-lining or external insulation. Properties backing onto the Dublin Mountains at Edmondstown tend to be more exposed, making draught-proofing and insulation even more impactful.
