The National Energy Efficiency Data-Framework (NEED) was set up by DECC to provide a better understanding of energy use and energy efficiency in domestic and non-domestic buildings in Great Britain. The data framework matches gas and electricity consumption data, collected for BEIS sub-national energy consumption statistics, with information on energy efficiency measures installed in homes, from the Homes Energy Efficiency Database (HEED). It also includes data about property attributes and household characteristics, obtained from a range of sources.

Weekly number of Energy Performance Building Certificates for new and existing domestic properties in England and Wales. These are official statistics in development.

[v2 update] weather data correction

The data describes an electrical energy community, containing photovoltaic (PV) production profiles and end-user consumption profiles, desegregated by individual appliances used.

A dataset of a residential community was constructed based on real data, where sample consumption and photovoltaic generation profiles were attributed to 50 residential households and a public building (municipal library), a total of 51 buildings. The data concerns a full year.

The overall power consumption of these houses was desegregated into the consumption of 10 commonly used appliances using real energy profiles.

This work has been published in Elsevier's Data in Brief journal: Calvin Goncalves, Ruben Barreto, Pedro Faria, Luis Gomes, Zita Vale, Dataset of an energy community's generation and consumption with appliance allocation, Data in Brief, Volume 45, 2022, 108590, ISSN 2352-3409, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.dib.2022.108590 (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2352340922007971)

This release presents official statistics on energy performance of buildings cerificates in England and Wales, including energy efficiency ratings, environmental impact ratings, energy usage, costs and emissions of dwellings and non-dwellings. The statistics will derive from two datasets - Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) and Display Energy Certificates (DECs). Source agency: Communities and Local Government Designation: Experimental Official Statistics Language: English Alternative title: EPB

Average Standard Assessment Procedure energy rating score

How the figure is calculated:

The sum of SAP energy rating scores for each new home for which an energy performance certificate has been issued in the reporting period, divided by the number of new homes for which a certificate has been issued. It is the average of the large number of scores calculated for new dwellings during the reporting period.

Why is this indicator in the business plan?

This is a key housing measure for which DCLG has policy responsibility. It monitors the energy efficiency of new build homes.

How often is it updated?

Quarterly

Where does the data come from?

National Energy Performance Certificate Register. Published figures are available here

What area does the headline figure cover?

England

Are further breakdowns of the data available?

Yes, can be split by dwelling type.

What does a change in this indicator show?

An increase in this indicator would show an average increase in the energy efficiency of new homes. The average SAP rating is expected to gradually rise over the long-term as a growing proportion of new homes are completed to the 2010 Building Regulations standard, which requires more energy efficient new homes.

Time Lag

Published within two months of the end of the reporting period

Next available update

To be confirmed.

Type of Data

Official Statistics.

Robustness and data limitations

Average figures are volatile due to a number of factors including the small number of new homes being assessed, the mix of dwelling types, the mix of heating systems used in new developments and the location of those developments.

Real time energy and water consumption for the DFID headquarters buildings at 1 Palace Street, London SW1 and Abercrombie House, Glasgow G75.

Real time energy consumption data for the HM Treasury headquarter building. Main Building, 1 Horse Guards Road, Whitehall.

Real time energy and water consumption for the Home Office headquarters building 2 Marsham Street.

The healthcare sector was the most energy-intensive real estate sector in the UK in 2023, closely followed by the hotel sector. Per square meter, healthcare and hotel buildings had a primary energy consumption of 375 and 370 kilowatt-hours respectively, while in logistic real estate buildings, this figure amounted to 217 kilowatt-hours per square meter.

Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) data for non - domestic properties in the West of England region (including North Somerset). The location data is the centroid of the postcode of the building. Detailed address data is not included as per EPC data and copyright restrictions.

All Dwellings: Floor Area covered by Domestic Energy Performance Certificates lodged on the Register , in each Local Authority, in each Year/Quarter between 2008 and 2015 Q4.

The Q4 2015 figures will change in subsequent quarterly publications as the EPB Registers are updated with new EPCs and DECs.

The data are presented as ‘Experimental’ official statistics because they are still subject to evaluation and testing. As ‘work-in-progress', they may not meet rigorous quality standards. They have been released because they have been judged to be of immediate value to interested parties and in order to encourage user feedback.

The release covers certificates lodged between 2008 and 2015 Q4, and breaks the data down for each specified calendar quarter (Q1=Jan-Mar, Q2=Apr-Jun, Q3=Jul-Sep, Q4=Oct-Dec) within each specified calendar year. The Q4 2015 figures will change in subsequent quarterly publications as the EPB Registers are updated with new EPCs and DECs.

Energy assessor accreditation schemes originally had the choice of lodging the underlying data used to produce domestic EPCs, in addition to the actual PDF document itself. After September 2008, lodging the data became a mandatory requirement. Due to the technical difficulty involved in formatting PDFs into searchable data, the statistics do not include data lodged as a PDF document only.

These statistics cover certificates on the energy efficiency of domestic and non-domestic buildings in England and Wales that have been constructed, sold, or let since 2008, and of larger public authority buildings since 2008. These statistics, therefore, do not cover the entire building stock across England and Wales but should be viewed as part of a wider package of Government’s provision of information on the energy efficiency of buildings.

This data is also available in Table LA2, available for download as an MS Excel Spreadsheet.

Please find details of The National Archive's energy consumption at their main building in Kew.

The energy consumption of the service sector in the United Kingdom fell slightly in 2023. Nearly half of the energy consumed by the service sector was used for heating. That did not include hot water, which used **** megatonnes of oil equivalent out of the ***** megatonnes that the sector as a whole used in 2023. That year, residential buildings were responsible for significantly more greenhouse gas emissions in the UK than commercial buildings.
