Energy Performance of Buildings Certificates

Information and publications from certificates held on the Energy Performance of Buildings Register.

These official statistics present 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 the Energy Performance of Buildings Register.

Statistics cover the period from Quarter 4 2008 to date, with an aggregate level breakdown by England and Wales, by regions, local authority, and by property.

The tables show data from certificates lodged on the Energy Performance of Buildings Register since Quarter 4 2008, including energy efficiency ratings, energy use, carbon dioxide emissions and fuel costs, floor area sizes and numbers of certificates recorded.

The department has also launched an EPC Action Plan, outlining a series of actions to improve Energy Performance Certificates.

The energy efficiency of housing is a devolved matter in Scotland and Northern Ireland, which can lead to differences in how legislation, data collections, targets and delivery plans are implemented by the devolved administrations.

Wales have their own interactive data dashboard.

In Scotland management information on EPCs is available but they maintain their own Scottish EPC Register.

In Northern Ireland no data are currently available (although Northern Ireland does use EPCs and registers them on the EPB Register).

Reforms to the Energy Performance of Buildings regulations and replacement for the Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP) are in development, more details of which can be found here: England and Wales and Scotland.
