Non-Domestic Energy Assessment Certification (NDEA)

In 2017, the Government implemented Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards for domestic and non-domestic properties. Under the MEES regulations a commercial property may not be let unless it meets a minimum EPC rating of ‘E’. Stroma-certified NDEAs can advise landlords and other commercial property stakeholders about which properties are at risk of non-compliance under MEES. By undertaking our MEES training course you can help your customers to avoid costly fines which can be levied for MEES non-compliance and advise on the measures which can be taken to make a non-domestic property more energy efficient.

Stroma Certification's ESOS Certification scheme is designed to certify ESOS Lead Assessors in line with the requirements of the Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS). Our ESOS Register is approved by the Environment Agency on behalf of the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy. By becoming an ESOS Lead Assessor, commercial assessors can work with large organisations to assess and reduce their energy consumption.

In 2016, new legislation in Scotland set out that an additional assessment is required for all non-domestic buildings over 1000m2, this became known as a Section 63 Action Plan. Section 63 is applicable to Non-Domestic Energy Assessors. To carry out a Section 63 Assessment, NDEAs will first need to complete a Section 63 training course to become a Section 63 Advisor and then join our certification scheme.
