elmPPC Software


elmPPC is a simple to understand system and enables users to be up and running quickly, producing energy reports on the move. It is free of charge and is only available to Elmhurst Accredited DEAs in England, Wales and Northern Ireland and to those DEAs who are members of the Elmhurst Scottish Protocol.

elmPPC allows DEAs to undertake RdSAP calculations whilst on the move; it is user friendly and has the same look and feel as the RdSAP software currently available in the Elmhurst Members Area
