Quality Management This publication of data is experimental and does not include full data cleansing to remove ‘out of range’ data elements. There may therefore still be small numbers of extreme values in the dataset and some degree of caution in analysis is advised. Further quality assurance of data will be undertaken in future releases and feedback from users on any issues identified in the current dataset would be welcomed.
Relevance The data published in this extract is made available as Environmental Information for data analysis and to enable research into energy efficiency issues. The data must not be relied upon to verify if a valid EPC exists for a building, nor as the basis for the provision of energy improvement advice for a building.
Revisions Not supplied.
