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. The assessor will also provide a recommendation report detailing how to improve the building’s energy performance, including an indication of the payback period for each suggested 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 assessors produce over 1,000 commerical EPCs a year. 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.
