The full rollout of Home Information Packs (HIP) is now complete. Every home that is put on the market for sale in England and Wales will need an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) as part of the HIP.
What is the marketplace?
An estimated 1.5 million EPCs are required each year for HIPs alone, this is a huge opportunity for Domestic Energy Assessors.
The NHER has put together a training and assessment programme for both new entrants and experienced practitioners to become DEAs. Visit our dedicated DEA training microsite for further information.
What next for Domestic Energy Assessors?
Domestic Energy Assessors should possess determination and drive to succeed in the existing dwellings market. Another option is to diversify to become a more rounded 'energy consultancy' business - qualified Domestic Energy Assessors can also consider upgrading their skills to become Commercial Energy Assessors, On Construction Domestic Energy Assessors or Home Inspectors.
