From April 6^th, 2008 many public buildings will need to display a Display Energy Certificates (DEC) in a prominent place clearly visible to the public, showing the energy performance of the building based on actual energy consumption.

100 participants in the ‘100 Days of Carbon Clean Up’ Campaign will receive free DECs, ahead of this requirement for public sector occupiers of larger buildings.

The campaign, running from September 12th to December 20^th and whose aim is to help participants realize the carbon saving potential of their workplace, encouraging staff behavioural changes and managerial initiatives to reduce carbon emissions from their buildings, is run by the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE) and sponsored by E.ON, the UK’s largest integrated energy company.

E.ON’s involvement also brings on board round the world yachtswoman Dame Ellen MacArthur who will be the campaign champion, reveals the organization’s press release.
