NATIONAL ENERGY FOUNDATION Energy Efficiency Accreditation Scheme
The National Energy Foundation has recently transferred the Energy Efficiency Accreditation Scheme to the Carbon Trust. Under the new arrangements, the National Energy Foundation will continue to manage the Scheme, but on behalf of the Carbon Trust, which will now take the lead on the development and marketing of the Scheme. The Energy Institute will remain as the independent awarding body.
The Carbon Trust is an independent company funded by Government. Its role is to help the UK move to a low carbon economy by helping business and the public sector reduce carbon emissions and capture the commercial opportunities of low carbon technologies.
The Energy Efficiency Accreditation Scheme is the UK's only independent award recognising achievements in reducing energy use by leading organisations in industry, commerce and the public sector:
Over 200 organisations have been accredited, saving in excess of £100 million from their energy bills since joining the Scheme.
Organisations gain accreditation after an independent expert assessor has carried out an audit visit and review of documentation; the accreditation award is moderated by the Energy Institute.
Accreditation is valid for three years. In addition, it is possible to opt for an annual interim assessment.
