Stroma Certification takes a proactive approach to the audit and assessment of our OCDEA Certification scheme members. A proportion of your SAP assessments will be audited on an annual basis to ensure you are adhering to compliance standards and scheme operating rules. A further requirement is the completion of at least 10 CPD hours per annum. Stroma Certification provides regular technical updates and free CPD seminars to assist members towards achieving this requirement.

MHCLG provide guidance to building owners and occupiers on the privacy and public access to the Energy Performance Data collected which is documented in the ‘Making Better use of Energy Performance of Buildings Data – Privacy Policy’.
