A Display Energy Certificate (DEC) shows the actual energy usage of a building, the Operational Rating, and it helps the public to see the energy efficiency of the building. This is based on the energy consumption as recorded by gas, electricity and other meters. A DEC should be clearly displayed at all times and clearly visible to the public. It is also accompanied by an Advisory Report that lists cost effective measures to improve the energy rating of the building. A DEC is only required for a building with a total useful floor area over 1,000 square meters, that is occupied by a public authority and institution providing a public service to a large number of persons and therefore visited by those persons. The certificate is valid for one year. The accompanying Advisory Report is valid for seven years.
