Effective from 1st March 2020, all GSAS Operations Service Providers seeking new or renewal of their licenses must have at least one professional holding a valid GSAS Accredited Energy Auditor certificate. The certificate will be valid for three years from issuance date.

This requirement is mandatory in addition to existing credentials and requirements stipulated in GSAS Technical Guide.

The rationale behind this policy update is the need to have a trained energy auditor who can facilitate energy assessment under GSAS operations as well as perform stand-alone energy audits and economic analysis of the proposed energy efficiency upgrades.
