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次能源性能证书（EPC）检查，这些评估都是在物业进行的。在英国，EPC的价格从45英镑到165英镑不等，每年为10，000多个DEA产生超过60，000，000英镑的收入。EPC是出售和租赁房屋的要求。根据住房社区和地方政府部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%。在英国，大约有10，000多个DEA，他们的收入下降了80%。远程EPC评估将解决英国建筑环境中的三个挑战：（1）减少评估人员往返家中的时间，从而提高生产力，在某些情况下提高100%;（2）通过在未来COVID 19浪潮期间允许远程评估，提高EPC流程的弹性;（3）通过在未来COVID 19浪潮期间允许远程评估，提高EPC流程的弹性。（3）减少往返家庭交通的二氧化碳排放量超过1000吨。这个雄心勃勃的项目旨在测试进行精确的远程EPC的可行性，这些EPC被家庭能源接入者、租户和业主所接受。该项目旨在让成千上万的接入者远程工作，从而加速英国和欧洲房地产和能源部门的现代化，与英国工业战略挑战基金（ISCF）保持一致-从能源革命中获益。我们拥有一个顶级的英国行业财团，在EPC，建筑业务，产品和服务，为全球企业和政府提供跟踪记录。我们旨在开发的技术解决方案是由DEA远程进行的EPC调查能力，并高度自动化。远程能力将结合开源数据、在家庭内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。P.

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.
