Display Energy Certificates

What are Display Energy Certificates?

Display Energy Certificates (DECs) show the energy performance of a public building based on actual energy consumption. An Advisory Report, which is valid for 7 years, accompanies the first certificate, which should be publicly displayed. The aim is that each year will show a gradual reduction in energy use as the measures suggested in the Advisory Report are implemented.

Why must I have a Display Energy Certificate?

Since October 2008 public buildings over 1000m2 (this is due to drop to 500m2 in 2013), buildings run by a public authority and those used by large numbers of the public require and annual certificate, which must be prominently displayed.
