Commercial Energy Assessor
The NDEA qualification falls into two categories - Level 3 & Level 4
Level 3
Energy Assessors wishing to produce Energy Performance Certificates, (EPCs), for simple, existing commercial buildings, will need to gain this qualification. This will allow them to be accredited as Level 3 Non-Domestic Energy Assessors (NDEAs). All buildings now require an EPC when sold or rented to a new tenant.
A Level 3 NDEA is able to assess existing buildings with smaller heating systems, (up to 100kw), and comfort cooling systems, (up to 12kw), and "typical" construction and lighting systems. In practice this would include most "domestic scale" shops, offices and workshops, which make up the vast majority of commercial buildings. Existing buildings with larger heating or cooling systems, more unusual construction and newly-constructed commercial buildings require a Level 4 or 5 NDEA to produce the EPC.

Level 4
