Collection: Energy Performance of Buildings Certificates

This quarterly series of experimental official statistics is released by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government.

It presents information about 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 recorded since 2008.

Figures are drawn from 2 datasets on the Energy Performance of Buildings Registers:

• Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) for domestic and non-domestic properties covering England and Wales
• Display Energy Certificates (DECs) for buildings occupied by public authorities in England and Wales

Statistics cover the period from 2008 to date, with an aggregate level breakdown by England and Wales, by regions, local authority, by property and tenure types.

The tables show data from certificates lodged on the Energy Performance of Buildings Registers since 2008, including average energy efficiency ratings, energy use, carbon dioxide emissions and fuel costs, average floor area sizes and numbers of certificates recorded.

On the live tables a new set of data tables on existing dwellings alone has also been added.

More details about regulatory context and data quality are in Energy Performance of Buildings Certificates: notes and definitions.
