ABBE On Construction Domestic Energy Assessor (Classroom)

Course length 4 Days
Suitable for New entrants with no previous energy assessment experience
Qualifications ABBE Level 3 Domestic On-Construction Energy Assessment

Course Overview

Our 4 day interactive, classroom On Construction Domestic Energy Assessor (OCDEA) qualification course is perfect for those looking to complete Energy Performance Certificates for new build homes.

During the course you will learn how to use SAP software to assess the energy efficiency of new build homes, helping to select appropriate building services, green technologies and alterations to the fabric to ensure a building will meet compliance.

With all new build homes in the UK requiring an Energy Performance Certificate and the government’s continued commitment to building new homes, this is an exciting area to work in. As an OCDEA, you will have a direct impact on the energy performance of new homes through your energy calculations, and your work will contribute towards the UK’s drive towards net zero.
