Promoting our Members
One of the greatest benefits of being a member with Elmhurst is having the full weight of the UK’s largest scheme for Energy Assessors out there promoting you.
The last few months we’ve been hitting the road, going out to LABC, CABE and the PEPA conference to name a few!

It’s been great meeting both members and new faces at these events, where we have delivered talks and engaged with industry professionals to highlight the work of our members. Hopefully you have seen our new website, where we have spent months developing our ‘Find an Assessor’ tool, which we believe is the most extensive tool for finding an Energy Assessor in the UK.
You’ll find us promoting our Find an Assessor Tool at most events we attend, giving attendees access to a network of over 9,000 Energy Assessors! Members of the public and industry professionals can filter their searches by region, building type, professions and post code, to provide them with the contact details of relevant Energy Assessors.
So far we’ve had brilliant feedback regarding the new tool, where people can rest assured they are using the services of properly trained and accredited energy professionals.
Another way we promote the work of our members is through our PR efforts; some of you may have caught our Managing Director Stuart Fairlie on BBC Look East discussing Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) and heat pumps. When it comes to engaging with the media and members of the public, the starting point is invariably education - usually about EPCs and the metrics they’re based on.
After all, if we want to make the jump from energy efficiency programmes aimed at social housing and the private rented sector to owner occupied initiatives then people need to first understand what an EPC is. And no, it’s not your fuel bill! However, we are positive that awareness around energy efficiency is growing among the general public - be it for domestic, new build or commercial properties. And we will always recommend using our members’ services to understand their properties’ EPC.
