Who is responsible for monitoring the work of energy assessors?

Accreditation schemes are responsible for managing energy assessors and for quality-assuring air conditioning inspection reports produced by their energy assessors. Accreditation schemes must ensure that energy assessors are competent and possess the appropriate skills to conduct energy assessments.

To become a member of an accreditation scheme, the energy assessor will need to:

• demonstrate their competence, either by having a recognised qualification from an awarding body, or approved prior experience and learning equivalent, to the national occupational standard requirements
• maintain appropriate professional indemnity cover
• update their skills and knowledge regularly
• participate in the accreditation schemes’ quality assurance procedures
• abide by accreditation scheme advice and guidance
