Scotland's housing stock stats

The latest statistics on energy efficiency in the Scottish housing stock reveal that the energy efficiency of the Scottish housing stock has improved considerably, with 40 per cent of dwellings rated ‘good’ on the National Home Energy Rating (NHER) scale in 2003-04, compared to 31 per cent in 2002.

This information is from the Scottish House Condition Survey, published late in December (headline figures were published in the Scottish House Condition Survey 2003-04 in March 2006).

The new, detailed report presents an analysis of the energy efficiency of occupied dwellings, and potential levels of emissions of carbon dioxide, sulphurous oxides and nitrogen oxides.
