Go ECO

Applicants to our ECO training are provided with access to Stroma Certification’s ECO software, including our powerful ECO Engine. The software is approved by the BRE, meaning it produces compliant ECO scoring calculations in line with the Ofgem requirements for ECO 2.

You’ll learn how to use the ECO software to identify eligible households and factor ECO calculations into Green Deal assessments. All of this meets the end goal of delivering better-value Green Deal Plans to customers.
