Domestic Energy Assessor back to work. Remote EPC assessment –proof of concept and business model development programme.

目前，国内能源评估师(DEA)平均每月进行110,000次能源绩效证书(EPC)检查，这些评估是在酒店进行的。在英国，EPC的价格从GB 45-165不等，每年为10,000多个DEA创造超过6000万GB的收入。EPC是出售和出租房屋的一项要求。根据住房社区部和当地政府4月13日的数据，政府对Deas的指示导致4月份进行的EPC数量下降了80%。英国大约有10,000多名戒毒者，他们的收入因此下降了80%。这启发了行业考虑远程能源性能证书评估。远程EPC评估将解决英国建筑环境中的三个挑战：(1)减少评估员往返家庭的时间，从而提高生产率，在某些情况下提高100%；(2)通过允许在未来的COVID19浪潮期间进行远程评估，提高EPC过程的弹性；(3)将往返于家庭的交通工具的二氧化碳减少1000吨以上。这个雄心勃勃的项目旨在测试进行准确的远程EPC的可行性，这些EPC受到家庭能源访问者、租户和业主自住者的欢迎。该项目希望让数以千计的访问者远程工作，从而加快英国和欧洲房地产和能源行业的现代化，使其与英国的工业战略挑战基金(ISCF)保持一致-从能源革命中繁荣起来。我们拥有一个在EPC方面经验丰富的英国顶级工业财团，建立企业、产品和服务方面的记录，为世界各地的企业和政府提供服务。我们旨在开发的技术解决方案是由DeAS远程进行EPC的调查能力，并实现高度自动化。远程能力将是开源数据的组合，这是一个在家庭中收集所需证据的过程(通过问卷、照片、视频、电话或组合)，以及支持数据收集过程的软件。根据G.P.Pisano的《2015年创新版图》，将新的技术能力带到现有市场将被视为“根本性创新”。

Currently, domestic Energy Assessors (DEA) carry out 110,000 Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) inspections on average per month, these assessments are carried out at the property. In the UK, EPCs range in price from £45 -- 165, generating over £60,000,000 revenues a year for 10,000 plus DEAs. An EPC is a requirement for selling and renting houses.The government instructions to DEAs has resulted in the number of EPCs being conducted dropping in April by 80% according to the Ministry of Housing Communities & local government figures on April 13th. There are approximately 10,000+ DEA's across the UK who as a result have seen their income drop by 80%. This has inspired the industry to consider remote energy performance certificate assessments.Remote EPC assessments would address three challenges in the UK built environment: (1) reduce the time assessors spend travelling to and from homes thereby increase productivity, in some case by 100%; (2) increase resilience of the EPC process by allowing remote assessments during future waves of COVID19; (3) Reduce the CO2 of transport to and from homes by more than 1000 tonnes of CO2\.This ambitious project aims to test the feasibility of conducting accurate remote EPCs that are embraced by domestic energy accessors, tenants and owner-occupiers. The project looks to get thousands of accessors working remotely and thereby accelerate the modernisation of the UK and European property and energy sector aligned to the UK's Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund (ISCF) - prospering from the energy revolution.We have a top-class UK industry consortium that is experienced in EPCs, building businesses, products and services with a track record of delivering for business and governments worldwide.The technical solution we aim to develop is a survey capability for EPCs to be conducted by the DEAs remotely and be highly automated. The remote capability would be a combination of open-source data, a process for gathering the required evidence within the homes (via questionnaire, photos, video, telephone call or combination of), and the software to support the data gathering process.Bringing new technical competencies to an existing market would be considered 'radical innovation' according to G. P. Pisano' The Innovation Landscape Map' 2015\.
