Harp Database

The Home-heating Appliance Register of Performance (HARP) database is a product efficiency database for home-heating appliances that are used in Ireland. The HARP database was developed by the UK Building Research Establishment in partnership with GASTEC at CRE Ltd, Kovara and Heating & Plumbing Markets International and is based on the equivalent UK SEDBUK database.

The database will be used for the following purposes:

  • to provide registered BER Assessors with specific product efficiency information which they can use when calculating BERs for dwellings;
  • to track compliance with the Boiler Efficiency Directive; and
  • as a resource in the boiler efficiency promotion campaign which will be developed to comply with Article 8 of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD).
