Low Carbon Consultants Register gains momentum

Progress to building up the Low Carbon Consultants Register by the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers has got off to a flying start. Demand for training leading to the exam to enter the register has exceeded expectations, with the first course having started in the middle of July. With over two-thirds of courses already booked, CIBSE is looking to offer further courses before the end of the year. The Low Carbon Consultants Register will be formed of qualified professional who can deliver better buildings whilst being able to confirm compliance with Part L of the Building Regulations. It will also make available expertise to help companies initiate action to reduce carbon emissions. Places on these courses are now generally available. Information is available on the CIBSE web site.
