Course Overview
All residential properties in the UK require an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) before being marketed for sale or let. A Domestic Energy Assessor (DEA) is a qualified individual who can undertake energy calculations for residential properties in order to generate these EPCs.
This course is designed to provide individuals with the skills and knowledge required to assess and evaluate the energy performance of existing domestic buildings. It focuses on assessing the energy efficiency and sustainability aspects of residential properties and identifying opportunities for improvement.
Upon completion of this course, individuals will be equipped with the necessary skills to conduct comprehensive assessments of residential buildings, provide recommendations for energy efficiency improvements, and contribute to the overall sustainability goals of domestic retrofit projects.
Delegates are required to bring:
• A large Tape Measure or Laser measure
• A step Ladder (only required for on-site assessments).
• A pen, pencil, paper/notepad and ruler
• Access to a computer
• A camera or smart phone/tablet to take pictures for evidence
Successful delegates gain the opportunity to progress onto related courses including:
• Non-Domestic Energy Assessment
• Retrofit Assessor Training
• Level 5 Diploma in Retrofit Coordination and Risk Management
This five day course covers the skills required and SAP methodology to enable the candidate to become an On Construction Domestic Energy Assessor.
Following the course, the delegate is required to complete a portfolio of work including Centre devised test cases to meet the requirements of the ABBE OCDEA qualification.
Upon successful completion of the assessment portfolio individuals are classed as qualified. Only individuals who are registered with an accreditation scheme are able to produce legally valid EPCs.
