An EPC is required when selling or letting a property and is valid for 10 years. The Energy Performance Certificate provides the owner of the property and the potential buyer with an energy efficiency rating. This, together with recommendations for improving the energy efficiency of the property, allow the purchaser to make an informed decision on the carbon consumption of their investment and how they can make any potential savings on their energy costs.
Display Energy Certificates (DECs) indicate the real energy usage of a public building and its operational rating, helping visitors see the energy efficiency of a building. This is calculated by examining the energy consumption of the property as recorded by the gas, electricity and other meters. A DEC is always accompanied by an Advisory Report that lists cost effective measures to improve the energy rating of the building.
Energy Performance Certificate information, by area: Manchester, Bolton, Birmingham, Liverpool, Wigan, Preston and North West.
