Survey of building energy use: part of the Non-domestic Building Survey

Published 12 January 2022

Applies to England and Wales

BEIS wants to improve and update its evidence on the characteristics for all non-domestic premises across England and Wales, with a focus on energy use.

This survey of building energy use, part of the Non-Domestic Building Survey, initially focuses on:

  • buildings in the hospitality sector
  • large buildings located off the gas grid

It forms part of the journey to net zero, and, in the current context of high energy prices, action to reduce carbon emissions can also help to reduce business energy costs.

By participating in either a remote or on-site survey you will help the government to understand:

  • building energy use
  • how this is affected by the fabric and use of buildings

If you are contacted to contribute to the work, we would really appreciate your participation. Your response will help inform our policy to support the hospitality sector and buildings located off the gas grid to decarbonise.

We will use the data in national statistics.

BEIS commissioned a consortium of UCL, Verco and Winning Moves to conduct the survey.
