Becoming a CIBSE Low Carbon Energy Assessor to produce EPCs in Scotland

The CIBSE Low Carbon Energy Assessors Scheme in Scotland is currently pending approval.

Therefore an interim arrangement exists between the Scottish Building Standards Agency (SBSA) and CIBSE Scotland.

At present CIBSE Scotland may accredit Members and Fellows of the Institution who can demonstrate that they have at least seven years practical experience of work directly related to the energy performance and assessment of buildings. This would include work on existing buildings which required assessment of the thermal performance of the building, assessing the efficiency of the existing building services installations, and the preparation of reports to clients.

Where an ACIBSE or LCIBSE has undertaken the CIBSE Low Carbon Consultants training and is clearly able to show that they have the relevant experience to be fully competent as an energy assessor under the Protocol, and they fully meet all the requirements, they may be added to the Register.

Download and complete this application form and submit to CIBSE Certification

You will need to have your application signed off by two sponsors. They must themselves be eligible to be accredited as Energy Assessors i.e. CIBSE Members or Fellows, with experience in energy performance work, although it is not a requirement that they are accredited or seeking accreditation. They need to be able to confirm that you have the experience described in section 4 of the application form.

CIBSE Certification will then contact you with information about your admission to the CIBSE Scotland register for Energy Assessors.

Once a scheme is approved, it will be neccesary to apply to join the scheme, even if you are approved under the interim arrangements.
