Display Energy Certificates

All larger public buildings require an annual Display Energy Certificate (DEC) highlighting their energy performance. This is to be displayed prominently in a place visible to the public. These buildings also require a DEC Recommendation Report (DEC-RR) providing recommendations for energy improvements each seven years.

There are slight variances on the requirements depending on the size of the buildings, as detailed below.

Buildings Over 1000 m²

• The DEC is valid for one year and must be renewed annually.
• The Recommendation Report is valid for seven years.

Buildings Under 1000 m²

• The DEC and Recommendation Report are both valid for a ten-year period.

To comply with the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive, valid Display Energy Certificates must be displayed in a prominent location, and the Recommendation Report be available to review upon request. Organisations failing to adhere could face a fine of £1,500.

A DEC show the energy performance of a building by using an A-G rating system and how the building is performing, compared to the previous two DECs issued. TEAM customers include; Schools, Historic Buildings, Museums, NHS Trusts, Universities, Emergency Services and Local Authorities.

Energy Saving Opportunity Scheme

ESOS is a mandatory energy assessment scheme for organisations in the UK that meet the qualification criteria. The Environment Agency is the UK scheme administrator.

Organisations that qualify for ESOS must carry out ESOS assessments every 4 years. These assessments are audits of the energy used by their buildings, industrial processes and transport to identify cost-effective energy saving measures.

Organisations must notify the Environment Agency by a set deadline that they have complied with their ESOS obligations. The deadline for the first compliance period, 5 December 2015, has now passed.

Organisations that are required to participate  in the scheme will meet the qualification criteria if they are defined as a large undertaking. These are:

• Any UK company that either employs 250 or more people, or has an annual turnover in excess of 50 million euro (£38,937,777), and an annual balance sheet total in excess of 43 million euro (£33,486,489)
• An overseas company with a UK registered establishment which has 250 or more UK employees (paying income tax in the UK)

You must take part in ESOS if your undertaking is part of a corporate group which includes another UK undertaking or UK establishment which meets these criteria.

We are registered Lead Assessors for ESOS through the Chartered Institute Building Services Engineers and have assisted organisations such as Quinetiq and Credit Agricole meet their compliance requirements.
