Departmental Energy

Question: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs if he will place in the Library a copy of the (a) display energy certificate and (b) advisory report for public buildings issued in respect of each property occupied by (i) the Forestry Commission and (ii) the Office of Water Services.

Answer: There are no Display Energy Certificates in Forestry Commission buildings in England as they have all been assessed as outside the requirement for a certificate. In almost all cases this is due to the buildings having a useful floor area of less than 1,000 square metres.Ofwat are in the process of obtaining a display energy certificate and advisory report. These will be published by the Office of Government Commerce when available and a copy will be placed in the Library.
