By 1 October 2008 public sector occupiers of certain public buildings will need to have a Display Energy Certificate (DEC) in a prominent place where it is clearly visible to the public, unless there are exceptional circumstances. They will also need to have in their possession a valid Advisory Report (AR).

Only buildings occupied or part occupied either by a public authority or an institution providing a public service to a large number of people and who are therefore frequently visited by those people, and with a total useful floor area greater than 1000m2 are affected by this legislation. A DEC must contain, by law, the following information: The operational rating and the asset rating (if available) as determined by the government approved method; show the operational ratings for the building expressed in any certificates displayed by the occupier during the last two years before the nominated date; include a reference value such as a current legal standard or benchmark.
The DEC will also show the unique certificate reference number, the address of the building, the total useful floor area of the building, the name of the energy assessor, their employer (or trading name if self employed), the name of their accreditation scheme and the date when the DEC was issued. The DEC must be accompanied by an Advisory Report. DECs are valid for 12 months, advisory reports for 7 years.
