Eco Homes need Energy Assessors.

All future buildings will have to have their energy needs assessed. FACT.

The challenge for the future is not to simply select new technologies that meet energy efficient criteria but to also make solutions affordable. Building energy efficient homes for the future make the task all the more exciting for Britains Architects and engineers but is the challenge to tall?

So many challenges are ahead of us and this is without considering the economic downturn.

It's not just domestic housing it is all building sectors that will have to consider energy efficient materials to meet code assessment.

As technology marches ahead are we still stuck in a traditional skills mind set? Assessing energy needs and requirements is one thing but installing the systems that last is another. Need a CPD on sourcing renewable energy products for specific requirements?

Without the right solutions in place we will all be playing in to the hands of a new global economy. The Carbon Economy. If someone invented a way to charge for the air we breathe it would only be a matter of time before it was reality.

The new technological age that has passed us by is now quickly becoming the Carbon Age. Our future exchange rates will be based on carbon usage and CO2 will be the trading commodity of the future. Will energy assessors be the future equivalent of Independent Financial Advisors?
