Expert knowledge

Unique Data has the knowledge, experience and capability to produce energy performance certificates, display energy certificates, and to provide clients with strategic advice on energy conservation measures.A calculation of the energy performance of new dwellings/buildings, the commercial and non-domestic sector is very varied, and there is a wide range of such buildings that will require Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs). Accredited Low Carbon Energy Assessors will produce these energy certificates. CIBSE Certification have developed a register of Low Carbon Consultants, experts in the design or operation of buildings. Many of these experts will become accredited Low Carbon Energy Assessors, able to produce certificates but also to take a further step and help clients to actively reduce their buildings carbon emissions.

There are three levels of Energy Assessor, reflecting the variety and complexity of the stock.

Level 3 assessors will be able to provide EPCs for those buildings with simple services, using SBEM* derived approved software. These will typically be converted houses and single or two storey offices and shops with fabric and services not dissimilar to dwellings.

Level 4 assessors will be able to produce EPCs for more complex buildings using SBEM*.

Level 5 assessors will be able to produce EPCs for the largest complex buildings, containing complex services that could be combined with passive heating and cooling measures and renewable energy generation on site. EPCs for these buildings will be produced using dynamic simulation modelling software.

* SBEM (Simplified Building Energy Model) is a Government-defined process in accordance with Part L Building Control Regulations. It is a calculation of the energy performance of new commercial/ industrial/retail buildings.
