Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) are a requirement of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD).  In dwellings an EPC must be undertaken by a qualified Domestic Energy Assessor or Home Inspector. The EPC must be made available to prospective purchasers or
tenants, to inform their choice of property.

1. Identifing the age of the property

2. Identifing the types of constsruction

3. Identifing the contruction materials used

4. Identifing fuel types

5. Identifing water and space heating methods 

6. A description of the purpose behind govenment approved procedures for assessing the energy efficency of a property.

7. An explanation on how the energy efficency of the building is affected by the materials and types of construction used.

Display Energy Certificates (DECs)
 
In addition to EPCs, public buildings over 1,000 sqm and occupied or part-occupied by public authorities (or by institutions or organisations providing public services) will require a Display Energy Certificate (DEC). This will show the Operational Rating, relating to the actual energy consumption of the building over a three year period. It will also include a reference value (a current legal standard or benchmark) to which it can be compared – and will be a measure on how well the building is being used in practice.
 
DECs will have to be displayed in a prominent position within the building and updated annually. An advisory report will also be required, but only once every 7 years. It is not yet certain whether an advisory report for every public building will be required for the October 2008 deadline.
