Display Energy Certificates (DEC)
Display Energy Certificates (DEC) are required by law to be held for each qualifying building on a school site. The DEC is also accompanied by a Recommendation Report (DEC-RR) that is also required to be updated at regular intervals. The renewal frequency for these documents are dependent on the floor area of the building being certified.

Pricing
The cost of DEC compliance for a school is dependent on a number of items including:
- Number of qualifying buildings
- Size of qualifying buildings
- If a site visit is required
- If a DEC-RR renewal is required
- If we have assessed the site previously
We currently deliver this service with our established not-for-profit partner to enable us to offer very competitive rates.
Additional support
To undertake the certification, the assessor will require 12 months energy consumption data for each building being certified. For support with this and any other energy procurement, utility management, and renewable energy project support, our award-winning service is available to use through our Energy Management SLA.
