The Scottish Building Standards Agency (SBSA) has entered into a protocol with BRE Scotland for the issue of Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) for existing buildings in Scotland. It means that EPCs can only be issued for existing buildings (domestic and non-domestic) under the new BRE scheme. 
 

The requirements to become a member of the scheme are:to have the required professional criteria for membership; to abide by the scheme’s Code of Conduct; to abide by the scheme’s Disciplinary Procedures and to have details published on the register of EPC scheme members (existing buildings). 
 

Training will be provided for scheme members in the use of the Simplified Building Energy Model (SBEM) calculation tool for non-domestic buildings; Reduced Data Standard Assessment Procedure (RdSAP) for domestic buildings; energy efficient designs and energy audit survey techniques.
