Elmhurst Energy, the energy performance assessment specialist, has launched an Air Conditioning Inspection Accreditation Scheme, open to trained and qualified Air Conditioning Energy Assessors.

The National Audit Office (NAO) have today issued a report critical of Green Deal and ECO for not being "good value for money" for government; what it fails to state is that it wasn't good value for most of the Assessors Organisation's and Advisors that did their best to make it a success either.

Following yesterday’s announcement that accreditation schemes will be trialling a new ‘Smart Audit’ process from 1st April, Elmhurst is pleased to have received an overwhelmingly positive response from our members who were quick to recognise the obvious benefits this type of auditing will provide.
