Overview

Non-dwelling buildings are responsible for almost 20 per cent of the UK’s energy consumption and carbon emissions.

Legislation - Energy Performance Buildings Directive (EPBD).

Requirement - Display Energy Certificate (DEC) and Advisory Report (AR).

This comes into effect from 1st of October 2008.

DEC and AR

Buildings over 1,000 Sq.M. Buildings which are visited by public. The certificate gives information to the

public about the building’s energy (gas & electric) consumed.

The common unit used is CO2. The certificate has a rating from A to G:

A indicates most energy efficient building; and G indicates least energy inefficient building.

DEC and AR What does DEC look like?

DEC and AR

DEC is only valid for 12 months (renewed every year).

Advisory report is valid for 7 years. Need to be displayed in a A3 format. Should be displayed in a prominent place

(entrance to a building). Failing to display a valid DEC – Fine of

£500. Failing to possess a valid advisory report

– Fine of £1,000.

Certification Parameters

Metering data for gas and electricity use in building.

Time period (365 days). Area of the building (Sq.M). Number of hours occupied (need to be

documented). Degree Days. Activity in the building (from the 29 benchmark). Onsite renewable. Separable energy use (Example: Regional server

room).
