Record keeping
| This is the web page referred to in section 3 of the Record Keeping Guide which lists the guidance documents which ACPs must follow with regards to record keeping. |
Appropriate record keeping is essential to be a successful ACP and is a condition of your accreditation.
You must keep records that evidence your activity and support your creation of certificates. You must also maintain record keeping arrangements that ensure you are able to collect the evidence required.
The Record Keeping Guide (for ESS) and PDRS Method Guide (for PDRS) set out the evidence you must collect and retain for activities and record keeping arrangements you must maintain.
The required records that you must keep are specific to the calculation method for your activity, but must evidence the:
- location in which the activity occurred
- energy savings or peak demand reduction arising from that activity
- methodology, data and assumptions used for calculations.
The table below sets out the guidance documents that detail the evidence that you must collect and retain.
Where the guidance documents listed above do not have information relevant to your activity, the Record Keeping Guide specifies a general list of activities for which you must evidence and keep records.
Maintaining appropriate record keeping arrangements and keeping appropriate records are standard conditions of accreditation we, as Scheme Administrator, apply to all ACPs.
