The NAPIT Energy Assessors Accreditation Scheme
The energy assessment of buildings represents one of the measures the UK has introduced to measure how efficient the nation's homes and workplaces are, and to recommend improvements to combat the threat of climate change. The end results of these assessments are either Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) or Display Energy Certificates (DECs), depending upon the type of building certificated.
To be able perform energy assessments it is necessary to become accredited as an Energy Assessor. NAPIT provide accreditation schemes to enable you to become an Energy Assessor.
NAPIT are formally approved by the Department of Communities and Local Government (CLG) to operate an Energy Assessor Accreditation Scheme under the Energy Performance of Buildings (Certificates and Inspections) Regulations 2007.
We currently run an Accreditation Scheme which will enable the assessment and certification of:
On Construction Dwellings
NAPIT are also currently evaluating the development of other accreditation schemes for:
Non Domestic Buildings
Display Energy Certificates for Public Buildings
Air Conditioning Inspection
(Please note that NAPIT do not run an Accreditation Scheme which covers the certification of existing dwellings for the Home Information Pack).
NAPIT are operating the EA Scheme in partnership with Complete Picture, whose SAP software approved under Part L of the Building Regulations as well as meeting the new requirements. Complete Picture administers the On Construction Dwellings scheme on behalf of NAPIT and for information about the scheme, and the process for applying for accreditation please follow this link.
