Display Energy Certificate
A Display Energy Certificate shows an Operational Rating which is based on the actual energy used by the building over the course of a year. This is compared to a 'benchmark' building, which is indicative of buildings of the same type. Display Energy Certificates are valid for one year and must be prominently displayed in A3 format.
In addition, an Advisory Report is prepared by the Energy Assessor - this provides some advice on how the building owner/occupier can improve the Operational Rating for future Display Energy Certificates.
