All work on housing projects that require a building warrant, such as new build projects, extensions or refurbishments, must meet the requirement of the Section 6 (Energy) Scottish Building Standards. However, calculating energy use is complex and is becoming more specialised. RIAS Energy Design Certifiers can help building owners and developers meet these energy standards and they can issue Certificates of Design which provide assurance of compliance.

The RIAS Energy Design Certifiers are highly qualified professionals and members of a scheme approved by the Scottish Government. They can certify as part of a wider design service or certify the design of others as part of a multi-disciplinary team. Download the RIAS Energy Design Certification Leaflet.
