what is sustainable development?

Sustainable development is an organising principle for human life on a finite planet. It posits a desirable future state for human societies in which living conditions and resource-use meet human needs without undermining the sustainability of natural systems and the environment, so that future generations may also have their needs met.

Connor Elrick - Trainee SAP Assessor

Domestic Energy Assessor (RdSAP)

From the 11th of October 2023, I began my training as a Domestic energy assessor using reduced data with a company based in Essex, Benfleet called Bare Energy. This was the beginning of my interest in the construction and energy industry. I was tasked with going on site and doing calculations on previously constructed homes that required EPC assessments. I thoroughly enjoyed the role, however I became more intrigued by the role of a SAP assessor as it is more rewarding.

OCDEA-On Construction Domestic Energy Assessor

Since the 5th of February 2024, I have been training as an OCDEA and have been learning and developing a career in SAP assessment with Thermal and Acoustics Ltd. I hope to keep learning and growing as a person with this company.
