ENERGY ON DISPLAY FOR PUBLIC BUILDINGS - 29.04.08
Big changes are ahead for those who manage public buildings, due to new legislation accompanying the implementation of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive. From October, publicly owned or accessed buildings with a floor space of over 1000 square metres will require a special certificate to inform visitors of their energy efficiency. ABBE, the Awarding Body for the Built Environment, is the first awarding body to offer the qualification that energy assessors need to be able to produce a Display Energy Certificate (DEC).
