BRE Training – Commercial
(Non-Domestic) Energy Assessors
To produce and lodge EPCs for commercial buildings, you’ll need to be a qualified Non-Domestic (commercial) Energy Assessor as well as a member of an appropriate accreditation scheme. If you wish to produce EPCs using our BuildDesk Carbon Checker software, you will need to be a member of an appropriate accreditation scheme. BuildDesk, BRE Training and BRE Global have partnered to offer you the very best in software tools, training and accreditation.

For existing SBEM Practitioners
Accreditation of Prior Experiential Learning (APEL) route
Existing SBEM practitioners can apply via the APEL route for Level 3, 4 or 5 qualifications. This process involves an initial application and once accepted you will then be individually assessed against the requirements of the National Occupational Standards for Energy Assessors.
The APEL and APEL Fast Track route is open to a wide range of applicants such as Part L (iSBEM) Competent Persons, CIBSE Low Carbon Consultants and existing Carbon Checker users. The BRE will help identify any areas requiring attention.
The BRE is initially concentrating on APEL Level 4 applications and will offer Level 3 and 5 in due course.
Level 3 – for simple existing buildings with commonly occurring characteristics that can be modelled using approved SBEM software such as BuildDesk Carbon Checker. This qualification level covers the majority of the commercial EPCs required by the market.
Level 4 – for both new and more complex existing buildings that can be modelled using approved SBEM software such as BuildDesk Carbon Checker.
Level 5 – for the most complex new and existing buildings that will need to be modelled using Dynamic Simulation methods. SBEM software such as BuildDesk Carbon Checker is not suitable for this category of building.

Non-Domestic Energy Assessment Diploma (DipNDEA)
New entrants or existing Domestic Energy Assessors/Home Inspectors will be expected to follow the formal Diploma in Non-Domestic Energy Assessment route to qualification.

The Diploma qualification is available in 3 distinct Levels and candidates must consider which is the most appropriate for their requirements.

BuildDesk Carbon Checker, BRE Training & BRE Global Accreditation
The following guidance describes the additional requirements if you wish to use BuildDesk Carbon Checker to produce and lodge EPCs with the BRE Global Accreditation for Building Energy Assessors (non dwellings).
DipNDEA Level 3 or 4 candidates must attend an additional one day Carbon Checker software familiarisation course. Once accredited with the BRE scheme customers with a valid Carbon Checker license can then generate and lodge EPCs using Carbon Checker. This course is also required for BRE APEL Level 4 candidates using Carbon Checker and who have previously sat a formal iSBEM examination. No formal Carbon Checker examination is required for Commercial Energy Assessors who follow these routes.
