Display Energy Certificate
In order to provide information to people regarding the utilisation of energy and make them aware of the usage of energy in publically owned buildings the concept of the Display energy certificate has been introduced. Such a certificate called DEC helps in the provision of a ranking to the building. This rank ranges from A to G. Here A is the highest efficiency level while G is the lowest. The DEC is valid for one year. The ranking is also awarded based on real-time energy usage readings on the building’s meter during this one-year time.
In addition to displaying this DEC at a visibly noticeable location on the building the affected party must also have an advisory report with genuine validity. All the necessary actions needed to improve the energy utilization and output in the building have been recommended in this report. This law applies to a building if it is in the occupation of a government organization has lots of frequent common visitors and has an overall area of 500 square meters or more as an occupied area.
This law is applicable from 9th January 2013. Every DEC building will be displaying this certificate at a conspicuous location with it ranking for the people to see with clarity.
