CIBSE Certification does not offer a qualification in ‘energy assessment’. All LCEAs have considerable professional experience in offering services with a direct link to energy certification, rather than having qualified after only a short period of desk study, so you can be sure that their recommendations will be based on sound knowledge and practical experience of what actually works in real life.
CIBSE Certification maintains a full quality assurance system which checks the data integrity of all certificates issued, and in addition, monitors the work of LCEAs to ensure that quality standards set by Government are being met.
Some accreditation schemes will accredit users of one or two types of software only. CIBSE Certification accredits users of all CLG approved software, so whether you have a large portfolio of properties and need to use the software which most efficiently handles aggregated data, or whether your property is a complex building and needs the latest dynamic simulation techniques to calculate its energy use, you can find an LCEA able to meet your needs via CIBSE Certification.
