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.},
annote={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."},
