As the responsible manager for your building, you will have read that, under this legislation it is the responsibility of every occupier of a building affected by these Regulations to display a Display Energy Certificate (DEC) in a prominent place clearly visible to the public, from 1 October 2008, unless there are exceptional circumstances. If yours is one of the buildings affected by the legislation, action is required now to ensure annual energy information is available by 1 October 2008, especially given that there are very few qualified assessors and demands upon their services are likely to be high. Don’t forget, you will be competing for their services with a wide range of owners of commercial buildings, also needing Certificates when renting or selling their premises.
