CIBSE (the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers) has launched a campaign offering organisations with large, publicly accessed buildings free guidance to help cut the cost of the new Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) and Display Energy Certificates (DECs) in return for a commitment to pledge 100 staff hours to energyreducing activities.
Learning activities, themed events and eco-freebies will help keep participants motivated.”
New EU-driven legislation will make it mandatory from October 1 for owners of large commercial buildings to produce DECs that rate their buildings’ energy performance for public display.
