The boss of the UK Green 好色先生TV Council has branded the government鈥檚 approach to display energy certificates 鈥渜uite absurd鈥�.

As , the building regulations minister Don Foster has confirmed the government has ditched plans to roll out the compulsory use of display energy certificates (DECs) to large private sector buildings.

Instead the government will only require building owners to display an energy performance certificate, where one is available.

But energy performance certificates (EPCs) measure theoretical performance not actual energy usage, as DECs do, and many in the industry feel they are not adequate to encourage greater energy efficiency in buildings.

Now, Paul King, has sent an describing the policy as 鈥渜uite absurd鈥� and 鈥渃rying out for a serious shake-up鈥�.

King said he was 鈥渄eeply concerned鈥� about the government鈥檚 plans to use EPCs as a measurement of building performance. 鈥淭he non-domestic EPC is seriously lacking in credibility in the property industry for being inaccurate and at times misleading,鈥� he said.

He added: 鈥淎t the very least, I urge you to ensure the regulations allow the display of a DEC where one exists, which would enable organisations like ours to encourage voluntary action.鈥�

King also condemned further government plans to require the renewal of required DECs in public buildings only every ten years, down from the current annual renewal rate.

He said: 鈥淭he current set up will neither minimise the burden on business, nor drive energy efficiency improvements.鈥�
