  abstract

  The Building Energy Efficiency Survey (BEES) 2014–15 sets out to improve and update the evidence of how energy is used, and to provide an assessment of the abatement opportunities for all non-domestic premises across England and Wales.
  note

  [Quote: "The total [non-domestic] stock consumed 161,060 GWh/year of total energy (of which electrical energy consumption comprised 53 per cent and non-electrical consumption 47 per cent). The five largest sectors in terms of energy consumption accounted for 71 per cent of total non-domestic energy consumption: these were offices, retail, industrial, health and hospitality. The most common end uses were space heating (66,940 GWh/year), internal lighting (21,260 GWh/year), ... There was 63,160 GWh/year (or 14,750 ktCO2e/year) total energy efficiency abatement potential, representing a 39 per cent reduction from current energy consumption. Over a third of the total abatement potential (22,080 GWh/year) came from measures with a private investment payback of three years or less [worth GBP1.3bn/year]." From the overarching report: "Tenants will often restrict investment returns on energy efficiency measures based on their lease renewal cycles."]
