ESOS CERTIFICATION

Stroma Certification's ESOS Certification scheme is designed to certify ESOS Lead Assessors in line with the requirements of the Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS). Our ESOS Register is approved by the Environment Agency on behalf of the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy. By becoming an ESOS Lead Assessor, individuals can work with large organisations to assess and reduce their energy consumption. ESOS Lead Assessors can also sign off improvements works as having been carried out using an appropriate methodology aligned to ESOS Scheme Guidance.

First year membership £0. Application pre-assessment training (1 day) £1,149. Annual membership renewal £250
All quoted prices exclude VAT.

What is the Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme?

ESOS is a mandatory energy audit scheme for all qualifying UK organisations who meet a given criteria, namely:

• Organisations employing at least 250 people
• Organisations with an annual turnover exceeding €50 million and an annual balance sheet total exceeding €43 million
• Please refer to the Gov.uk website for more information regarding ESOS compliance criteria

Source: Environment Agency

Organisations who meet these criteria must undergo an ESOS audit every 4 years to assess their energy consumption. There is a requirement for organisations to notify the Environment Agency that they are compliant with the ESOS regulations within a given compliance period.

Why join our ESOS Certification scheme?

ESOS energy audits can only be signed off by a qualified ESOS Lead Energy Assessor. ESOS compliance is mandatory for UK qualifying organisations and by adding your name to our ESOS Lead Energy Assessor Register you are demonstrating your ability to sign off their ESOS compliance work.

We also provide a one day ESOS training course.
