Clients can be sure that buildings designed and/or evaluated by Low Carbon Consultants will meet the requirements of Part L (Conservation of Fuel and Power). Building Control Officers can be assured that compliance is being signed off by a suitably qualified professional.
Members of the Register have undertaken examinations to demonstrate their competence to provide the energy certification services that will be required under the Energy Performance of Building Directive (EPBD).
Registered members are required to update and enhance their skills continuously to ensure that they keep up with technological developments and the requirements of the regulations.
