Display Energy Certificates (DEC's)
Display Energy Certificates provide the building occupier with an illustrated certificate highlighting the actual energy consumption over a year period, which is then broken down into CO2 emissions and compared to a benchmark figure and graded on an Industry Standard Scale from A to G.
Do you require a DEC?
Since the 1st October 2008 as part of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive you will legally require a DEC if your building is occupied by a public authority or an institution providing a public service to a large number of people and has a total useful area greater than 1000m2. Examples of buildings affected include council buildings, schools, leisure centres, hospitals and libraries, etc.
You may choose to have a DEC as part of your energy efficiency management programme in order to recognise your existing current and potential energy efficiency and raise awareness amongst your staff.
Benefits of a DEC
- Compliance with legal requirements and avoidance of a £1,500.00 fine
- Raise public awareness of energy use and encourage the reduction of energy
- Improved energy efficiency and ultimately cost savings
How do you get a DEC?
