1 EHA NatHERS technical CPD points for EHA or 1 Non- Technical for all others

A webinar presenting the new features and benefits of the updated existing homes energy assessment certificate and climate zone specific upgrade guidance.

An updated version of the Existing Homes Energy Rating Certificate is going live on 1 July, alongside a range of comms resources aimed to help assessors talk to homeowners about energy upgrades.
This webinar is to help understand how the existing homes certificate will change from 1 July. The most significant change being the inclusion of more home-specific upgrade guidance, and the recently announced Home Energy Rating branding.

This webinar will cover:
  • What is changing on the Existing Homes certificate from 1 July;
  • How the new home-specific upgrade guidance works, including the logic behind how their AccuRate inputs change the upgrade advice generated on the certificate
  • How assessors can explain the upgrade guidance to householders ·        
  • Explanation of how the system intelligently decides what advice is printed on the certificate and what isn’t
  • The supporting resources that will be available (including a certificate guide document, upgrade guidance material, and per-climate-zone fact sheets and upgrade examples)
  • How these resources can help assessors have practical conversations with householders about possible upgrades.
