What is the DOCEA Certification Scheme?

Stroma Certification’s DOCEA Certification scheme is approved by the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG). It provides certification for energy assessors to perform assessments in line with the requirements of the Standard Assessment Procedure for the energy rating of dwellings. This is the Government’s methodology for calculating the energy performance of dwellings within the UK in compliance with the Energy Performance of Buildings Regulations (EPBR). All new homes are required to have an EPC and SAP assessment produced upon sale or let.
