Level 3 Certificate in Domestic Energy Assessment

The City & Guilds Certificate in Domestic Energy Assessment has been developed as a professional qualification for learners wishing to become an accredited Domestic Energy Assessor (DEA). This qualification has been developed in line with National Occupational Standards and in collaboration with Asset Skills. The qualifications support Government initiatives in providing a competent workforce to meet the requirements of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD). This European directive sets out the need for Energy Performance Certificates (EPC). All homes bought, sold or rented require an EPC, which provides information on how to make domestic building more energy efficient and reduce carbon dioxide emissions. The DEA produces an EPC when a dwelling is sold or rented, using Reduced Data Standard Assessment Procedure (RDSAP) or equivalent approved software.
