What is EEC Professional Certifications?

EEC Professional Certifications is an umbrella certification framework under which multiple professional certifications sit, including:

  • Certified Emissions Reduction Leader for Commercial Buildings to project manage integrated building energy retrofits that slash energy bills and emissions;
  • Certified EnMS Advisor to effectively engage and influence large energy using businesses to set up energy management systems (EnMS) that enable them to realise continuous improvement in energy performance and emissions reductions; and
  • Certified Insulation Installer to support households with lowering heating and cooling bills whilst ensuring improved health and comfort outcomes are realised by safely and effectively installing insulation.

EEC Professional Certifications is delivered under the supervision of an expert Steering Committee and administered by the Energy Efficiency Council, Australia’s peak body for energy management, energy efficiency and demand flexibility. It demonstrates the EEC’s ongoing commitment to developing the future energy workforce for Australia.

When businesses and households look for someone to deliver their energy and emissions reduction project, they need look no further than individuals certified under EEC Professional Certifications.

Redesigning the Energy Efficiency Certification Scheme

In 2021, the EEC announced the redesign of the Energy Efficiency Certification Scheme (EECS) into EEC Professional Certifications to deliver multiple certifications that drive energy and emissions reduction across the economy.

From 2013 until the launch of EEC Professional Certifications the EEC administered EECS, which certified professionals to lead integrated energy retrofits of commercial buildings.
