North West Improvement and Efficiency Partnership

TEAM Solution to delivery of Display Energy Certificates (DECs) by April 2008

Background

Are you preparing for the DEC? There is a significant fine if you do not exhibit your DECs by April 2008.

The EU Energy Performance of Building Directive states that if an eligible public sector building fails to display a valid DEC by April 2008 the organisation will be charged £500. It is also essential that a valid advisory report of recommended energy saving measures is displayed by this date and there will be a hefty £1000 fine for not meeting this requirement.

DECs are only required for buildings that are occupied by a public authority or an institution providing a public service to a large number of persons that have a total useful area greater than 1000m2

TEAM is offering a complete solution to enable public sector organisations to produce DECs before next April. This offer includes a software module to produce the Certificate and in addition, accredited TEAM Consultants will provide a service to include the collation and production of data, determination of which sites are valid and guidance with benchmark categories

Who can use the offering?

This offering is open to all public sector bodies in the UK.
 
Key features and benefits of the offer

• The DEC will be accompanied by an Advisory Report that lists cost effective measures to improve the energy rating of the building.
• Supports government targets for efficiency and sustainability in this space.  
• Provides the opportunity to improve your energy efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions.
• Provides an easy route to avoid unnecessary costs associated with fines and penalties.

TEAM are holding s eries of workshops to present their solution for producing the DEC.  These take place throughout the country during September.  For further details click here.
