Display Energy Certificates (DECs)

Who Needs a DEC?

Public buildings (or those occupied by public authorities) in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland: 

With a floor area over 250 m², and that are frequently visited by the public. 

A Display Energy Certificate shows the actual energy usage of a building (based on metered consumption), rather than theoretical efficiency like an EPC. It's intended to promote energy efficiency in public buildings. 

Buildings are rated from A to G (A = most efficient, G = least efficient) and contain an Advisory Report suggesting energy-saving measures. 

They must be displayed in a prominent place (e.g. reception area) where the public can see it. 

A DEC is only valid for 12 months, upon which it needs to be renewed.
