Public Buildings (DECs)
As part of the government's plan to implement the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive, Display Energy Certificates (DEC's) will need to be displayed in most public buildings from October 2008.
A DEC will be a requirement on each building, and will need to be renewed annually.
Those included are public authorities, and institutions providing public services that occupy or control buildings which are frequently visited by the public including the following;
• Central or local government offices
• NHS Trusts
• Places of education
• Police buildings
• Courts and prisons
• Buildings providing public services such as museums, art galleries and swimming pools where the buildings floor area is greater than 1,000m2.
DEC's will provide information to visitors about the energy efficiency of these buildings. This will raise awareness of energy use in our public buildings and will allow public authorities to show, over time, the benefit of the measures they implement to reduce their carbon footprint.
Failure to comply with this legislation will result in financial penalties.
