May Newsletter

Welcome to the May edition of the CIBSE Certification newsletter.
 

Multiple lodgements checks reminder  
We would like to remind our LCEAs that there is a rule in the SORs regarding multiple lodgements, covering the lodgement of more than 1 EPC, DEC or ACI assessment per building (or part of building) in a period of 3 calendar months. LCEAs are encouraged to review the requirement in the EASOB webpage here.  

Please ensure that you avoid reissuing assessments for the same property unless there is a valid reason, for example, an error identified and corrected, and when you do, please ensure that you notify us by email at epc@cibsecertification.org.  
 

Compliance 
We will be approaching our renewals period in a few months and the best way to help you prepare for this is to make you aware of the ongoing compliance requirements.  You can download the relevant scheme description document(s) for the strand(s) that you are registered for here.  

Examples of ongoing compliance are providing insurance updates, updating CPD records and maintaining competence.  For LCC Simulation/EPC registrants this includes providing up to date software certificates in the use of SBEM/DSM software by their software provider.

Planned maintenance Updates  
From Friday 8 May am to  Monday 11 May am, we will be carrying out critical system upgrades to improve how you access and use your MyCIBSE account enhancing your online experience. During this time you will be temporarily unable to log in to MyCIBSE to purchase any products including lodgement credits via the website. The website itself will remain live and accessible.

Rebrand
CIBSE Certification officially unveiled its refreshed brand identity in April 2026. The updated look aligns closely with the core CIBSE brand while introducing a distinct visual approach for Certification, with green as the primary colour palette. The refresh presents a modern accessible design and clearer more focused messaging. 

Please email epc@cibsecertification.org for an updated marketing toolkit. 

LCEAs can download the marketing toolkits from the Lodgement Portal Downloads area.

PEPA Webinar - Non-Domestic MEES
