Since 1st October 2008 sellers and landlords of commercial properties have been required by law to provide an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) for all buildings or parts of buildings when they are sold or rented. Those carrying out the construction of a building will be required to provide an EPC to the owner.
An Energy Performance Certificate gives prospective buyers or tenants information on the energy efficiency and carbon emissions of a building.
Display EPCs (DEC)
Public authorities, and institutions providing public services to a large number of persons, such as Schools, Hospitals, Local Government Office etc, who occupy space in a building with a total useful floor area greater than 1000m2, must display a valid Display Energy Certificate (DEC) at all times and have a valid advisory report in their possession.
Each building will require an inspection and issue of the DEC annually, whereas the advisory report will be valid for seven years.
A DEC shows an operational rating which conveys the actual energy used by the building as opposed to an EPC which conveys an asset rating showing the intrinsic performance of the building.Only public authorities or public institutions (those providing services traditionally associated with local or national government) occupying a building must display a DEC. Other private occupants of the same building are not required to display a DEC. If the building is sold or let, it will additionally require an EPC. If the building has an EPC, the asset rating will need to be included on the DEC.
