Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of whether the current levels of compliance with the statutory Display Energy Certificate regime are sufficient to meet the legal requirements of the EU's Energy Performance of Buildings Directive as transposed into UK legislation.

Data on Display Energy Certificates (DECs) for buildings occupied by public authorities over a certain size threshold and frequently visited by the public can be found at (attached): https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/live-tables-on-energy-performance-of-buildings-certificates (Table DEC1)

The Government does not routinely hold or collect data to identify public buildings that are frequently visited by the public. Therefore, we have not made an assessment of the current levels of compliance.
