Candid chat and your DEA questions answered

Submitted by: MikeC (Admin) on 24-Oct-07 12:34:37 AM

Whoa! This is a bumper podcast split into two parts.

In part one Brian and I discuss many aspects of the EPC and HIP industry including: whether the EPC should be "set free" from the confines of the HIP; the background to SAVA'a claim that BRE has a conflict-of-interest; why fee's are falling; the frustrations of dealing with different ministers over the last decade,  plus much more.

Many thanks to Brian for his time.

Whilst you are listening, fill this petition in NOW!

The objective of this petition is to exert pressure on politicians to extend HIPs to all properties by the end of November. It has been started by National Energy Services which runs the NHER and SAVA schemes, but it is intended to be an industry wide initiative.

This petition is gaining traction amongst the EPC industry - Throw your weight behind it now and be counted. It might be the only remaining chance to collectively make your voice heard before, well...?

Dear Minster



As a newly qualified Domestic Energy Assessor I am writing to you in the strongest possible terms to demand that you make clear your intentions regarding the introduction of a full market for HIPs. Every day that passes without a full market reinforces negatives. People are constantly having to defend HIPs when in fact we should just be getting on with the business of making it work.



I, along with 1000’s of others have spent time and a great deal of money to take on this new career. I am now faced with a very grim and uncertain future. At this moment I can make no plans because I can not rely on what is going to happen. I have to consider the very real prospect of not being able to support my family and dependents and these are seriously uncomfortable thoughts.



There is nothing in the way of a full HIP implementation and I urge you to lay the final commencement order now.



Regards

Stuart Skelton
