Display Energy Certificates
Meet your regulatory obligations and understand how to reduce your carbon footprint
What is a Display Energy Certificate (DEC)?
Display Energy Certificates (DECs) demonstrate the energy performance of buildings occupied by public bodies. A DEC provides an energy efficiency rating of the building based on the actual amount of metered energy used.
DECs provide an energy rating of the building from A to G, where A is very efficient and G is the least efficient.

Do I need a DEC?
A valid DEC and Recommendation Report are legally required documents for every publicly funded building over 250m² that is frequently visited by the public.
For buildings over 1,000m² a DEC is required annually, and the Recommendation Report needs to be renewed every seven years.
For buildings between 250m² and 999m² a DEC and Recommendation Report are required every 10 years. Fines of up to £1,000 can be levied for non-compliance.
Organisations must display the certificate in a prominent place clearly visible to the public and also hold a valid Recommendation Report. The Report contains recommendations for improving the energy performance of the building.
