Course Details
Description
The ABBE Level 3 Award in Energy Efficiency Measures for Older and Traditional Buildings qualification has been developed to raise awareness of older, traditional or vulnerable buildings (e.g. buildings built prior to 1919).
This qualification meets the requirements set out in PAS2035 and PAS2038. It is ideal for Retrofit Assessors, Designers and Coordinators working on traditional and protected buildings within risk paths B & C.
On completing the qualification, learners will be able to:
-
recognise the age, nature and characteristics of older and traditional buildings
-
assess options for the introduction of energy efficiency measures for older and traditional buildings
-
making recommendations and giving advice on the introduction of energy efficiency measures
Learners may already be working in a role where they have responsibility for producing Energy Performance Certificates (e.g. as a DEA/GDA, Retrofit Assessor). It will enable them to demonstrate the skills and knowledge that they have gained through their employment enabling learners to achieve a nationally recognised qualification.
This course will be delivered over two consecutive days via Zoom with a requirement to complete two short multiple-choice tests and a virtual interactive case study on the final afternoon which will make up a portfolio of evidence.
Although not a mandatory requirement to complete this course it is recommended that students purchase a copy of BS7913:2013 as this will form the basis of much of the course content.

Phil is such a great teacher and has the ability to make quite a dry topic really fun and engaging. The virtual classroom lessons were structured in a really coherent way, and as a result my confidence and knowledge has increased a great deal - it's the perfect first step to be becoming a qualified DEA. Thank you Phil and team!
