EEC Professional Certifications Framework
As announced in October 2021, since 2013 the Energy Efficiency Council has administered the Energy Efficiency Certification Scheme (EECS), which certifies professionals that can lead integrated building energy retrofits (IBERs) of commercial buildings, and has supported the role out of Victoria's Greener Government Buildings (GGB) Program and NSW's Government Resource Efficiency Program (GREP), amongst other commerial buildings programs.
The EEC is working collaboratively with the Commonwealth Department of Industry, Science, Energy and Resources (DISER), the Victorian Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) and the New South Wales Department of Planning, Industry and Environment (DPIE) to redesign the Scheme into an ‘umbrella certification framework’ - the EEC Professional Certifications Framework - under which multiple professional certifications and associated training programs will sit, including:
- Certified Emissions Reduction Leaders - Commercial Buildings, replacing the existing EECS certifications;
- Certified EnMS Advisors;
- Certified Insulation Installers.
The EEC Professional Certifications Framework will be launched in late June, with certifications being awarded from 1 July 2022.
