Abstract
This report was commissioned to develop new and improved methodologies for collecting and assessing energy data in Scotland in three areas:
• Weather correcting heat demand: developing a method to weather correct non-gas heating demand data
• Heat demand across different fuels and sectors in Scotland: producing an annual time series of heat demand across different fuel types in the industrial, commercial and domestic sectors. This is space and water heating; process heating in industrial properties is not included. The fuel types investigated were: coal, manufactured fuels, petroleum products, gas, electricity, bioenergy and waste.
• Emissions factors for different heating fuels and sectors: identifying Scottish specific emissions factors for different heating fuels in order to generate heating emission values for Scotland as a whole.
The work draws on data from a variety of sources including Home Analytics, Non-Domestic Analytics, the Scottish House Condition Survey.
