Summary

The data measuring Departmental Strategic Objective 2.5: Average Energy Efficiency (SAP rating) of new homes was released on Tuesday 10 November 2009 according to the arrangements approved by the UK Statistics Authority.

The release covers quarterly data for the Government Office Regions (GORs) of England and Wales for October to December 2008 through to July to September 2009.

The energy efficiency rating, on a quarterly basis, is volatile due to a number of factors including the mix of dwelling types, the mix of heating systems used in new developments and the location of those developments where there are a small number of new homes being assessed in some of these categories.

The key points

The average energy efficiency, SAP rating, of new homes in England was 78.5 and in Wales 76.4
Regionally, the average energy efficiency (SAP rating) of new homes varied from 75.7 in West Midlands to 81.5 in North East.
