Our Energy surveying team are here to help your organisation meet Government requirements and assist with energy savings recommendations.
Our accredited surveyors produce over 1,000 DECs and EPCs for public buildings each year.
LASER has an in-house team of accredited surveyors who provide accurate, timely and cost-effective DEC and EPC certificates, MEES and ESOS reports. The team will assist you with energy saving recommendations and costings, while helping you meet regulatory requirements.
All of our energy assessors are highly trained and experienced and issue around 1,000 DECs and EPCs each year. We focus on quality and accuracy aiming to provide maximum value from a mandatory requirement.
Get in touchA DEC reports a buildings energy rating on a scale that runs from A to G with A being very efficient and G being the least. This rating is based on the actual amount of metered usage over the course of 12 months. In accordance with Government legislation, any building occupied by a public authority with a total floor area of over 250m2 and frequently visited by the public must have a DEC in place.
Our accredited assessor will carry out a full audit of your public building’s energy usage to provide an energy rating. A DEC is combined with a recommendation report, which includes recommendations to enhance the building’s energy performance, along with an indication of the payback period for each proposed measure.
A Commercial Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a legal document that assesses the energy efficiency rating of a commercial property on a scale of A to G. An A rating is the most energy efficient and G is the least energy efficient. EPCs are legally required when selling, leasing, or constructing a business property, providing recommendations on how to improve a building’s energy performance. A commercial EPC is valid for 10 years, after which it must be renewed if you intend to sell the property or let it to a new tenant.
Our accredited assessor will conduct an onsite assessment of your site/buildings, evaluating the energy performance and data, analysing heating and hot water systems, insulation and more. They will not only provide a precise rating, but they also identify potential areas of concern and offer guidance on improvements, using the most logistical and cost-effective measures.
In order to comply with the MEES legislation, property owners and landlords are required to assess their property’s energy performance and take necessary steps to improve its energy efficiency if it does not meet the MEES standards. This typically involves obtaining an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC), which rates the property’s energy efficiency on a scale of A to G. LASER can assist you in identifying, evaluating, and ensuring compliance for any properties that do not meet the MEES standards.
We understand that service requirements may vary and we are pleased to offer tailored services to suit the individual needs and preferences of our customers.
Portfolio gap analysis
We will work with you to identify which properties the regulations will affect, where existing EPCs are in place and ensure the most recent certificates are considered. Properties that may require improvements or EPCs will then be highlighted.
Closing the gap
For those highlighted properties, we can provide EPCs and produce a summary report with an overview of the current position of the property in relation to the legislation. This provides a notice period for the work that is required.
Ensure compliance
Our team has an in-depth understanding of the challenges that public sector organisation’s face. Partnering with us means receiving support and advice, our accredited assessors will also provide a tailored proposal to deliver the support necessary, so that your public buildings meet obligations and are compliant with the legislation. This will minimise any potential loss of revenue and eliminate any risk of incurring fines.
ESOS is a scheme that requires large organisations to conduct energy audits every four years to identify cost-effective measures that can save energy. Our accredited Lead Assessor and advisers can provide a full ESOS compliant service and help you build an ESOS plan that not only ensures compliance with the scheme but also delivers practical energy saving measures.
Our in-house assessors are fully qualified and accredited with industry recognised certification bodies.
We’ll send you timely reminders when Display Energy Certificates and Recommendations Reports are due for renewal.
LASER is a public sector owned provider of DECs and EPCs, issuing thousands of accurate and timely Certificates and Recommendation reports annually to schools, councils, NHS Trusts, and other public bodies.
