Accreditation

There are two levels of accreditation as an Energy Specialist in the Commercial Buildings sector:

• Specialist in one specified discipline; either lighting or HVAC.(e.g. Energy Specialist (Lighting))
• Specialist in three disciplines. (Commercial Buildings Energy Specialist)

Note that it is hoped to add further modules as new disciplines are identified for accreditation.

To achieve accreditation as either of the classes of specialist a four step process is required to be followed. A person accredited for an individual discipline may apply for expanded accreditation across three disciplines without being required to attend training or to sit the exam relating to their previously recognised disciple as long as that accreditation was achieved within the previous 3 years.
