Energy Performance of Buildings Register
Energy Performance of Buildings Certificates: glossary, originally published by the Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government in 2014, states: ‘For an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC), or Display Energy Certificate (DEC) to be valid, the data which is used to produce the energy certificates must be lodged on the EPB Register. Energy assessor accreditation schemes had a choice of lodging the data for domestic buildings as a PDF document (the energy certificate) or as formatted data collected during the assessment process. EPCs, DECs and ACIRs are now generated directly from the EPB Register, which means that they are generated using the data that is stored on the registers whenever the document is retrieved by an end-user. The EPB Register went live as a Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government service in late September 2020. The register contains EPC data for dwellings and data for non-domestic EPCs, DECs and Air Conditioning Inspection Reports (ACIRs). As of April 2021, the Register holds data related to over 22 million certificates. This volume of data, which increases daily, equates to some 5 billion individual data items.’
