Why Join the BRE Global Accreditation Schemes?

A new scheme package to meet the needs of Energy Assessors • We are pleased to announce that following recent market research we are introducing number of changes to make the BRE Global Accreditation Schemes even better value.

New fee structure: • Listening to our members we have reviewed lodgement fees downwards from 1 st March 2010. We will look after our members by setting fees that reward loyalty to the scheme by introducing a volume related fee, linked to the total volume of lodgements you have made since joining. • Fees range from £ 3. 50 and £ 20 for domestic and commercial EPCs and will remain at £ 4. 50 and £ 10 for SAP and DECs respectively. Remember, there are no other charges from BRE or Quest for preparing and lodging your EPC. • More competitive – making the BRE schemes even better value. • Simplified fee structure – easier to understand, no monthly resetting. • Rewards loyalty – reducing scale with volume, the more you lodge the better it gets. • New fee structure effective from 1 st March – for full details of new fees see fee sheet.

New Member’s Area: • Improved functionality – scheme members now able to view and download lodgement history, improved CPD recording and upload system. • Easy to use – improved navigation, streamlined structure & direct link to Green Book Live. • The members area will help you by providing clear and concise information on your business activities to provide you with an easy-touse system to help operate your business.

Introducing… • A system designed to reward scheme members. • Reward points are accumulated for every lodgement made through the scheme. • Added benefits – access to discounts on many BRE products and services, and…Also provide benefits with external partners. We are pleased to announce as the first external partner with further discounts on their software licences and training available exclusively through myrewards points.

myrewards Is the new loyalty points based club, which brings you benefits each time you make a lodgement. For each lodgement you make you will be awarded points. The reward points can be exchanged for myrewards offers ranging from free CPD to discounts from software providers and many more! 1 DEA / OCDEA Lodgement = 1 myrewards point 1 DEC Lodgement = 2 myrewards points 1 Non-Domestic Lodgement = 3 myrewards points An example of the myrewards system is shown below: If you lodged 30 DEA Lodgements and 10 Non-Domestic Lodgements - your myrewards account would show 60 myrewards points.
