The UK has passed legislation which introduces the world's first long-term legally binding framework to tackle the dangers of climate change: The Energy Act 2008, Climate Change Act 2008 and the Carbon Reduction Commitment 2010 ensure that our legislation underpins the long term delivery of our energy and climate change strategy. Improving the energy efficiency of our buildings The UK has passed legislation which introduces the world's first long-term legally binding framework to tackle the dangers of climate change: The The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive 2007, Energy Act 2008, Climate Change Act 2008 and the Carbon Reduction Commitment 2010 ensure that our legislation underpins the long term delivery of our energy and climate change strategy.
What can we do? We monitor, compare and reduce your CO2 emissions, fuel bills and reduce costs.
How we do it? We have been reducing fuel costs for government and private sector buildings through Display Energy Certificates (DEC) and Recommendation reports (AR) since 2008.
We Provide independent and reliable assessments of building fuel management. Providing recommendations for possible improvements, including cost effective measures for improving the energy performance of the building. The report enables the occupier to identify what may be done to improve building assets, energy management, building services, and energy usage
How do we do it?
What do you receive? Graphic Report showing: - The energy used by the building is converted into an amount of tonnes of carbon dioxide CO2 pa - How the energy use has changed over the last three years - How the building has improved its performance over the last three years. - Average energy performance for a building of this type - A Operational Ratings between 1 - 200 and allocated a energy rating A - G
Recommendation Report: - Short term recommendation with payback of less than 3 years - Medium term recommendation with payback of between 3 - 7 years - Long Term payback with payback of more than 7 years - Recommendation broken down into: - Energy Management measure - Upgrade Building Services - Low to zero carbon technologies - Assessors recommendation
Technical Table: - Annual energy use, CO2 emissions and performance indicators - Energy used for heating (kWh) - Energy used for electricity (kWh) - Benchmark ratios - Weather location - corrected to occupancy house

Display Energy Certificate Explained
A - This provides information about the building the DEC applies to B - Every DEC has a unique number. This number can be used to locate and get a copy of the certificate from the nation register and to verify the validity of a DEC C - The energy used by the building is converted into an amount of carbon dioxide (CO2). Different types of fuel emit different amounts of CO2. This show how the energy use has changed over the last three years. The smaller the bar, the better the performance. This building has improved it performance over the past three years. Below the zero lines, shows CO2 savings from Low and Zero Carbon energy sources. The benchmark is the average energy performance for a building of this type. A number below the line indicates the building is below average energy performance. A number above the line indicates the building is above average performance. D - This section shows the Operational Rating from previous years. The building has improved its Operational Rating i.e is using less energy and emitting less CO2 than in previous. E - This shows key information about how the certificate was prepared: Assessment software: This shows which energy assessment method was used to produce the certificate Property reference: This is a unique reference number which identifies the building Assessor Name, Number and Accreditation: This identifies the assessor who produced the certificate with details of their accreditation scheme and membership number. Issue date and nominated date: This shows the date of the issues of the certificate and the date from which the DEC is valid (i.e. the nominated date). F - This provides technical information about energy use. Further details are available in a full technical table. G - This shows the relevant elements of technical information used to produce the certificate. Main Heating Fuel: This indicates the main type of fuel used to heat the building. Building Environment: This indicates how the internal environment of the building is conditioned. Total useful floor area: This is the total area of all enclosed spaces measured to the internal face of the external walls. Asset Rating: The asset rating of the building reflects the energy performance of that building in terms of the way it is built rather than the way it is used. It will appear hear is the building has an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC). Asset ratings are on a scale of 0 - 150 , where 0 is the most efficient building and 150 is the least efficient building. H - This is the Operational Rating of the building. The rating show the energy performance of the building as it is being used by the occupants. A building with a poor performance equal to one typical of its type would therefore have an Operational Rating of 100. A building that resulted in zero CO2 emissions would have an OR of zero, and a building that resulted in twice the typical CO2 emissions would have an OR of 200
