The Chartered Institute of Building’s (CIOB) Building Conservation Certification scheme has expanded entry requirements to certify those working within the retrofit sector
The Building Conservation Certification scheme is suitable for individuals working on traditional or listed buildings.
The CIOB conservation scheme applies the same criteria as other similar certifications, but with energy efficiency and sustainability in recognition that climate change must play a part in everybody’s role.
It was launched in June 2017 in response to a growing demand for ‘certified’ conservation specialists, providing individuals working on these buildings with a route to becoming a ‘certified’ conservation specialist.
The CIOB conservation scheme that accepts a far greater number of roles within industry than any other scheme.
Regardless of what role an individual has in retrofit, membership in a building conservation certification scheme will help to demonstrate competence.
Requirements:
Candidates must have some knowledge and experience of working on traditional buildings, although this does not need to be on buildings in conservation areas or listed buildings.
If they do not hold specific conservation qualifications, they are required to undertake the CIOB two-day Understanding Building Conservation course.
