Government-approved software is available to produce the necessary DECs and accompanying Advisory Report. Only an accredited Energy Assessor, who is a member of an accreditation scheme, such as CIBSE Certification, can produce a DEC.
Energen can assist with gathering the essential data and surveying the relevant buildings, leading to the production of DECs, An advisory report, providing valuable information on specific energy-saving opportunities, will also accompany the DEC for each building.
We can help you to meet your legal obligations, so please contact us to book an inspection or for information and advice.
Commercial EPCs have become a requirement for commercial premises because potential buyers and tenants are entitled to an impartial overview of energy use and energy costs of the building and because the EPCs inform sellers and landlords where there's room for improving energy usage as far as their properties are concerned.
The certificates are valid for 10 years and need to be produced by accredited software and lodged on a central database by a suitably accredited Energy Assessor, who is registered with an accreditation scheme, such as CIBSE Certification Limited. A Recommendations Report, identifying possible energy saving recommendations, will accompany the Certificate. There is no obligation to implement the recommendations made, but it is hoped that a good or improved energy rating will increase asset values.
Energen personnel are CIBSE qualified to undertake to produce EPC’s and Recommendations Reports. We can also help with the implementation of the Recommendations Report, if required.
and their controls will be surveyed and all relevant documentation such as manuals, drawings, maintenance records, commissioning data and control strategies will be inspected. An Energen inspector will then assess whether the system is suitably sized for the cooling loads in the treated spaces and the overall effectiveness of the system.
Energen provides a comprehensive Air Conditioning Inspection service. Our accredited air conditioning inspectors produce reports which not only help you to comply with legislation, but also indicate ways in which energy- and cost-savings can be made. Savings realised will mean that the cost of the inspection is normally paid back with a few months.
Energen is a specialist consultancy in energy and carbon management, currently working with a number of blue-chip companies in the UK. Our aim is to help businesses to reduce their carbon emissions, thereby reducing energy costs. We also help to ensure businesses are compliant with current legislation.
We undertake all aspects of energy management, ranging from energy procurement, the management of energy supply contracts and the production of energy management reports. We also undertake site surveys and audits to identify energy, carbon and cost-saving opportunities.
In addition, we offer a full range of accredited energy assessor services such as the production of Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs), Display Energy Certificates (DECs) and air-conditioning inspections, as required by the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) and the UK Energy Performance of Buildings Regulations 2007.
We are able to provide interim energy managers. This site service would typically commence with setting up an energy strategy, identifying the existing energy and carbon footprint from which to measure savings, leading to agreed plans to reduce energy consumptions, energy costs and carbon emissions. The service may also include full account and project management to ensure that energy saving recommendations are fully implemented.
