Quidos launches the first Data Collectors Accreditation Scheme in England and Wales:
CLG has allowed for Energy Assessor 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
To take the hassle out of this Quidos has set up the Data Collectors Accreditation Scheme, simply put, every Quidos Accredited Data collector has been tested, trained and verified to best gather information, they will also have a sound understanding of the DEC methodology:
Who is it for?
The Data Collectors Accreditation Scheme 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.
- Domestic Energy Assessors wanting to get involved in the commercial sector
