What is ESOS?
The Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS) is a mandatory energy assessment and energy saving identification scheme for large undertakings (and their corporate groups). The scheme is applicable throughout the UK
What is an ESOS Lead Assessor?
In 2015 CIBSE Certification were approved to operate an ESOS Lead Assessor register in support of the ESOS Regulations. ESOS reports identifying the total energy use and energy savings opportunities for large organisations must be signed off by a registered ESOS Lead Assessor. You need to be an LCC to become an ESOS Lead Assessor.
The ESOS regulations require that ESOS Lead Assessors be sourced from approved existing schemes run by professional bodies, such as the CIBSE Certification Low Carbon Consultants register. Therefore CIBSE Certification ESOS Lead Assessor applicants are required to be registered as a CIBSE Certification Low Carbon Consultant.
The ESOS Lead Assessor certification scheme is open to anyone that can meet the entry requirements of competence, a minimum of two years of professional energy assessment and energy audit experience relevant to PAS 51215.
