BRE TRUST REVEALS THE RESULTS OF DEC DATA ANALYSIS

摘要

The BRE Trust has carried out a unique data analysis project which interrogated the Display Energy Certificate (DEC) statistics of more than 28,000 public sector buildings. Results show that while DECs are valuable they do not provide evidence of real energy efficiency improvements and carbon emissions in public sector buildings. The Display Energy Certificate (DEC) is a record of the building's metered energy usage and associated carbon emissions over a 12-month period, and compares these against established benchmarks to give a rating from A (best) to G (poorest).
