Defra complies with the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive and implements a program of Display Energy Certificate (DEC) where applicable across its estate.<\/p>
<\/p>
We currently have 36 sites that require a DEC. These range from office buildings to laboratories. The table below shows the DEC rating of our buildings and the number of buildings in each category.<\/p>
