註冊能源效益評核人的資格
申請成為註冊能源效益評核人，須先具備機電工程署認可的專業身分。其中一條路是《工程師註冊條例》（第409章）下電機、機械、環境、屋宇裝備或能源界別的註冊專業工程師，並有最少2年與樓宇能源效益相關的畢業後經驗；另一條是香港工程師學會上述界別的正會員，並有最少3年相關經驗；也可為香港合資格環保專業人員學會的專業會員，同樣須有最少3年相關經驗。註冊有效期10年，條例另設紀律機制。
條例下的能源審核要求
《建築物能源效益條例》規定，指定類別的樓宇須每隔不多於10年進行一次能源審核。現時須審核的包括商業建築物及綜合用途樓宇的商業部分；由2026年9月20日起，須審核的類別增至11類，涵蓋教育、社區服務、市政、醫療、政府樓宇、機場客運大樓、鐵路車站及數據中心等，審核周期縮短至5年，並須在完成審核後的報告中發布若干技術資料。評核人須按《能源審核守則》進行工作並簽署相關表格。
行業實況與工作性質
能源審核員的工作結合現場與數據：先收集樓宇的能耗帳單、設備清單與運行時間，再實地量度與檢查空調、照明、升降機等系統，找出浪費環節，然後建議節能措施及估算回本期，最後在措施落實後核實效益。從業員多受僱於工程顧問行、能源服務公司、物業與設施管理及公用事業機構。由於條例擴大了須審核的樓宇類別，市場對合資格評核人的需求預料會增加。

Qualification to be a Registered Energy Assessor
To become a Registered Energy Assessor, an applicant must first hold a professional standing accepted by the EMSD. One route is being a Registered Professional Engineer under the Engineers Registration Ordinance (Cap. 409) in the electrical, mechanical, environmental, building services or energy discipline with at least two years of post-qualification experience in building energy efficiency; another is being a corporate Member of the HKIE in those disciplines with at least three years of relevant experience; a third is being a professional member of the Hong Kong Institute of Qualified Environmental Professionals, also with at least three years of relevant experience. Registration lasts ten years and a disciplinary mechanism applies.
Energy audit requirements under the Ordinance
The Buildings Energy Efficiency Ordinance requires prescribed classes of buildings to undergo an energy audit at intervals of not more than 10 years. Currently this covers commercial buildings and the commercial portion of composite buildings; from 20 September 2026 the audited classes rise to eleven, covering education, community services, municipal, medical, government buildings, airport passenger terminals, railway stations and data centres, with the cycle shortened to five years and certain technical information to be published in the report after completion. Assessors work to the Code of Practice for Energy Audits and sign the relevant forms.
Industry reality and the nature of the work
Energy auditors combine fieldwork with data. They collect a building's energy bills, equipment lists and operating hours, then measure and inspect systems such as air-conditioning, lighting and lifts on site, identify waste, recommend efficiency measures with estimated payback, and verify savings after implementation. Practitioners mostly work for consulting firms, energy service companies, property and facilities management, and utilities. Because measured data cannot replace on-site inspection, field visits are required. As the Ordinance widens the classes of buildings requiring audits, demand for qualified assessors is expected to rise.
