S.R. 50 Retrofit Collection

The S.R. 50 retrofit collection includes a number of Standard Recommendations developed by the NSAI, with input from various stakeholders, including government departments and agencies, training providers, equipment manufacturers, engineering consultants, professional representative bodies, and time served plumbers and electricians. The collection includes;

S.R. 50-1 – Building services – Code of practice – Part 1: Water based heating systems in dwellings
S.R. 50-2 – Building services – Code of practice – Part 2: Thermal solar systems
S.R. 50-4 – Building services – Code of practice – Part 4: Heat pump systems in dwellings
S.R. 55 – Solar photovoltaic micro-generators for dwellings – Design, installation, commissioning, and maintenance
Professionals and organisations within the retrofit sector have recognised the value of these documents in guiding their efforts to deliver high-quality, sustainable, and efficient building upgrades. Adoption of the S.R. 50 retrofit collection demonstrates a commitment to best practices and sustainable energy systems. NSAI recognises that to effectively support users within the retrofit sector, it is necessary to make available the S.R. 50 retrofit collection as a comprehensive suite of standards.

In addition to the new collection, the existing code of practice for the energy efficient retrofit of dwellings, S.R. 54, is also available to download from NSAI’s webstore. S.R. 54 is sponsored by the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) and is available to download free of charge.
