Energy Performance of Buildings Data England and Wales

Abstract

This dataset contains information from Energy Performance Certificates and Display Energy Certificates for buildings in England and Wales The requirement for energy certificates for buildings flows from the EU Directive on the energy performance of buildings. The principle underlying the requirements of the EU Directive on the energy performance of buildings is to make the energy efficiency of buildings transparent through the provision of energy certificates and to show how the energy efficiency of the building can be improved.

Lineage

Energy Performance of Buildings Data, The data is drawn from EPCs issued for domestic and non-domestic buildings constructed, sold or let since 2008. Data from DECs issued for buildings occupied by public authorities also dates back to 2008. It provides information on the energy efficiency ratings of domestic and non-domestic buildings during the energy assessment process. This data release includes data for buildings with multiple EPCs or DECs as well as for buildings where only a single energy certificate has been issued. The registers do not hold data for every domestic and non-domestic building or every building occupied by public authorities in England and Wales. This data should, therefore, not be interpreted as a true representation of the whole of the building stock in England and Wales, but viewed as part of a wider package of Government’s provision of information on the energy efficiency of buildings.
