Display Energy Certificates
A display Energy Certificate (DEC) is legally required by buildings larger than 250m2, which are partly or wholly occupied by public authorities. They are also frequently visited by the public.
The display energy certificate must be displayed in a prominent place, so it is clearly visible to all. The advisory report should be in your possession.
What is a DEC?
The Display Energy Certificate demonstrates the energy performance of a building over the previous 12 months. This is within the valid period of the DEC. The rating indicates the carbon dioxide (actual) emissions from the building. This allows to compare the CO2 emissions from different buildings.
The DEC is rated from A-G. A is the best, with a lower CO2 emission.

What happens after the visit?
The assessor will enter the information into the software, generating the certificate and advisory report.
Your assessor will have stored the photos collected on site and will keep these for 15 years. They will enter the elements identified and measurements into their software. This will generate the EPC and recommendations.
Post EPC
The assessor is available to discuss the findings and recommendations if required. This should support your next steps.
