Quidos DEC Data Collector Training
CLG has recently announced that Public Building Energy Assessors are now able to use a team of people to gather the information for an energy assessment, as long as they are working under the direction of an Accredited Energy Assessor.
Accredited Energy Assessor's must ensure that anyone visiting a property or gathering information on their behalf is both ‘fit and proper' and suitably qualified to gather the information. They must, be satisfied that any data about a building has been properly collected and accurately reflects the building as they will be responsible for any data used to produce a DEC
Who is it for?
The Data Collectors Training course is aimed at property professionals wanting to be involved in the production of the DECs:
Examples of these property professionals are:
- The facilities manger of a public building wanting to ensure the highest quality of the DEC.

Quidos DEC Data Collector Training Pack
Rather than take up valuable working hours with formal training, Quidos have produced a DEC Data Collectors training pack. This pack contains a selection of practical and written activities, including sample (virtual) properties that candidates can practise inputting data etc… In additon, we will include information on how to login and send data to our ECP / DEC upload portal, for retrieval by one of our DEC Assessors.
