1. What level of certification do we need, basic, advanced or expert and why?

2. How can we recognise the skills of existing building performance modellers?

3. What are the biggest challenges to building modellers in being able to properly inform building design?

4. How important is it to understand the theory behind the calculations in undertaking building performance modelling?

5. What would encourage you to achieve a higher level of certification and what would discourage you?

6. Do we need to provide additional training for those wishing to enter the sector or diversify and if so, how do we make this accessible to all?
