KINGS ENERGY HUB
DISPLAY ENERGY CERTIFICATES (DECs)
We Offer Professional DEC Assessments for Public Buildings. Helping public authorities understand and display the operational energy performance of their buildings. Kings Energy Hub provides professional Display Energy Certificate assessments for qualifying buildings across East Midlands, Cambridgeshire and surrounding areas.
WHAT IS A DEC ?
A Display Energy Certificate (DEC) shows the operational energy performance of a building based on its actual energy consumption. Unlike an EPC, which is primarily an assessment of the building's theoretical energy performance, a DEC reflects the building's actual energy use during occupation. The certificate gives the building an operational rating from, A — Most efficient to G — Least efficient The rating is calculated using the building's energy consumption and is compared against a benchmark for similar types of buildings. A Recommendation Report (RR) accompanies the DEC, highlighting cost-effective measures to improve the buildings energy performance. Both documents MUST be displayed in public buildings.

DEC V EPC
A DEC is not simply another type of EPC. It measures operational performance using actual energy consumption data, here is the Difference between the 2
EPC
-
Measures the building's energy performance using an asset rating
-
Primarily based on the characteristics of the building and its services
-
Commonly associated with sale, rent or construction
-
Used for many domestic and commercial buildings
-
Rating from A–G
DEC
-
Shows the building's operational energy performance
-
Based on actual energy consumption
-
Primarily applies to qualifying public buildings
-
Operational rating from A–G
-
Used for qualifying buildings occupied by public authorities
WHAT INFORMATION IS NEEDED TO COMPLETE A DEC AND WHAT IS THE PROCESS?
INFORMATION THAT CAN BE EMAILED OVER
ENERGY CONSUMPTION FOR A REQUESTED 12 MONTH PERIOD
This may include Electricity Consumption, Gas Consumption, Oil Consumption, Solid Fuel Consumption, On-site Generation that's produced
INFORMATION THAT IS OBTAINED FROM SITE VISIT
BUILDING INFORMATION
This may include Building floor area, Building Type, Occupancy and Relevant Building Characteristics.
METER INFORMATION
This may include Electricity Meter and Gas Meter
NEW INSTRUCTIONS, ALL BUILDINGS NEEDING A RR and BUILDINGS NEEDING A DEC UNDER 999m2
A site visit would be required and the relevant energy consumption data would need to be sent over.
BUILDINGS OVER 1000m2 NEEDING A RENEWAL
Just the energy consumption data would need sending. If nothing has changed within the building over the last 12 months a simple headed letter explaining this removes the need to do another site visit.
