Public buildings

Certain public buildings must have a Display Energy Certificate (DEC). The DEC contains similar information to an EPC to enable visitors and users of the building to see its energy efficiency rating. DECs show the actual energy usage of a building, the Operational Rating, and help the public see the energy efficiency of a building. This is based on the energy consumption of the building as recorded by gas, electricity and other meters.

The DEC should be clearly displayed at all times and clearly visible to the public. A DEC is always accompanied by an Advisory Report that lists cost effective measures to improve the energy rating of the building.

Display Energy Certificates are only required for buildings with a total useful floor area over 1,000 sq m that are occupied by a public authority and institutions providing a public service to a large number of persons and therefore visited by those persons. They are valid for one year and the accompanying Advisory Report is valid for seven years.
