- Day 5 - Output Documentation – Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) Production and Recomendations
- Day 6 - Display Energy Certificates (DECs) and Advisory Reports (ARs)
- Day 7 - Examination workshop
Course Aims
To provide training to enable individuals to prepare and qualify to produce
Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) for existing and new commercial
buildings which incorporate complex heating and cooling systems and carbon
technologies.
Provide training to enable individuals to prepare for and qualify to produce Display Energy Certificates (DECs) and provide Advisory Reports (ARs) for public buildings with a total useful floor area of over 1,000m2.
