The Specification for the Assessor Training Programme for Building Energy Rating (New Dwellings) was published on 6 October 2006. I have arranged for a copy to be placed in the Oireachtas Library.

I understand that a number of training providers (third level institutions and building professional organisations) plan to start training as soon as their training programmes/trainers are accredited in accordance with the Specification.
