What does the accreditation scheme provide for an   Energy Assessor?

  The accreditation scheme is responsible for ensuring the   quality of energy inspections and Energy Performance   Certificates. This is important as Energy Performance   Certificates are a legal obligation, and consumers need to   be protected. The accreditation schemes:

  - Provide standards, procedures and codes of conduct that     members are expected to adhere to
  - Ensure that all their members are qualified to conduct an     energy assessment, and produce the Certificate and its     accompanying advice and recommendations
  - Make sure that Energy Assessors have appropriate     professional indemnity
  - Provide a register of Energy Assessors
  - Ensure that Energy Assessors are 'fit and proper'
  - Provide a route for continuing professional development
  - Offer a process to enable complaints to be resolved
  - Check Energy Assessors initially for competency
  - Actively monitor quality assurance of Energy Performance     Certificate
  - Validate reports before lodgement.

  Being accredited through an accreditation scheme means I   am part of a reputable profession, and this protects both   myself and my customers. I am accredited through two   organisations Building Research Establishment Ltd (BRE)   and Elmhurst Energy Systems respectively:
