On Construction Domestic Energy Assessor (OCDEA) Training
Every newly built domestic dwelling in the UK requires an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) before being sold or let. As an On Construction Domestic Energy Assessor (OCDEA), you will have the skills and knowledge to complete energy calculations using Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP) software to produce a new build EPC.

As a trained and qualified assessor with Elmhurst Energy you will be given the appropriate tools and preparation to go out and produce accurate energy assessments for these new build properties; fully supported by a professional accreditation body.

Training Options:
We offer two options for OCDEA qualification and accreditation allowing you to train via a new entrant or ‘Approved Prior Experiential Learning’ (APEL) route.
OCDEA Training as an Experienced Practitioner (APEL)
The APEL training route applies to those with experience of working in areas of design, construction and/or energy assessment for new build domestic buildings for a period of at least two of the last five years.
Candidates must demonstrate that they meet the necessary skills, knowledge and understanding as defined by the National Occupational Standards (NOS). They will be expected to be familiar with Building Regulations, construction methods, HVAC and lighting systems related to domestic properties and understand architects’ plans.
Applications for APEL:
Please book onto your preferred course date through our online training calendar. Once payment has been received you will be sent the APEL application form to complete and return to us. Your experience, qualifications and training are mapped against the standards to determine your suitability for the APEL route. We will notify you of the outcome of the mapping process. If you have not met the APEL requirements, you can still take the new entrant route.
If you are not successful in your application a full refund can be issued. Elmhurst Energy do reserve the right to charge an admin fee for the mapping process.
