Building sustainability advice — Energy performance certificate adviser — Professionals
These commissions suit advisers who can translate multiple owner objectives into a coherent building brief. Identify whether energy assessment, materials advice or a wider renovation strategy is needed, and do not present general consultancy as a certified environmental rating.
Service scope
Advice on improving a building's resource use and environmental performance within an agreed project boundary. Energy measures may form part of the work, but sustainability can also involve water, materials, maintenance and occupant needs; no single certificate is implied by the category name.
What is normally included
- Goal and baseline discussion
- Comparison of improvement options
- Prioritised recommendations for further investigation
What is not included
- Guaranteed carbon reductions or payback
- Automatic certification of a building as sustainable
Qualification checks
- Define the sustainability topics
- Establish a usable baseline
- Identify building constraints
- Review interaction with planned works
- Agree specialist referrals and reporting limits
Quote guidance
Cost the advisory stages and any optional calculations separately. State whether the commission ends with recommendations or includes design coordination, procurement support and follow-up evaluation of the completed measures.
Lead risks
- Clients may expect quantified savings without adequate baseline data
- Product sales can be confused with independent advice
