Energy Performance Certificates / Display Energy Certificates
Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) measures the energy efficiency of a building and provides 'A' to 'G' ratings, with 'A' being the most energy efficient and 'G' being the least. EPCs are required whenever a building is built, sold or rented out.
Display Energy Certificates (DECs) show the actual energy usage of a building, the Operational Rating, and help the public see the energy efficiency of a building. This is based on the energy consumption of the building as recorded by gas, electricity and other meters. The DEC should be clearly displayed at all times and clearly visible to the public. All buildings with a total useful floor area over 1,000mē occupied by a public authority and institution providing a public service to a large number of persons and therefore visited by those persons must obtain a DEC on an annual basis.
Bowman Riley Architects can provide the services of an accredited energy assessor to produce EPCs and DECs alongside an associated report which suggests improvements to make a building more energy efficient.
