 Merseyhip Ltd can now offer Display Energy Certificates. On this page you can find out how we can help you comply with the legal changes affecting buildings in 2008. The Energy Performance of Buildings Regulations introduce the requirement for Display Energy Certificates (DECs) in public buildings by 1st October 2008. From this date a DEC must be prominently displayed in non-domestic public buildings with a gross floor area over 1,000 m2 (this is the area measured from the internal face of your external walls). The Display Energy Certificate will convey the Operational Rating of the building, indicating it’s energy efficiency and CO2 emissions on a scale of A to G. The Operational Rating will indicate how well the building is being managed and operated. Display Energy Certificates are based on the building's energy consumption, so if you are responsible for a public building affected by the Regulations you should start to gather the data (from meter readings and/or energy suppliers) without delay. Estimated consumption data from energy suppliers can be used during the initial implementation period. A Display Energy Certificate will convey all the information necessary for the public to take a view on the building's energy performance, and most importantly it will include advice for improvement. Display Energy Certificates will be accompanied by an Advisory Report highlighting measures which, if adopted, have the potential to save energy and money. A DEC will remain valid for one year and the Advisory Report will remain valid for seven years. Who can produce a DEC? Display Energy Certificates and Advisory Reports can only be produced by a qualified and accredited non-domestic energy assessor. If you would like to find out how Merseyip Ltd can help you comply with the Regulations by providing your Display Energy Certificates and Advisory Reports, please ring us on 0151 228 9112 and ask for Simon or Ian.
