Energy Performance of Domestic Buildings Data: Scotland

An unofficial REST API for Scottish domestic Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs).

Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) provide energy efficiency information and specifications, such as floor area and materials used, for a dwelling. Official EPCs can be downloaded from the Scottish EPC Register. See further information about EPCs on the Scottish Government website.

Data

The source data for this service has been downloaded from statistics.gov.scot. The service contains data for certificates between Q2 2015 to Q1 2025. The source data includes only the latest EPC for each dwelling.
