Description

Value of the field:
This is a contract for a research project to produce a national database of all buildings in the UK. This will involve using a data engineering methodology (piloted by a previously commissioned research project) with targeted surveys across all sectors of the non-domestic building stock. A contractor will be procured to:
- Apply the prescribed methodology to combine existing data on buildings and energy use;
- Design and carry out targeted sector-specific surveys to fill gaps in existing data;
- Combine the existing data and surveys to deliver a fully populated national buildings database;
- Provide robust documentation, guidance and training on use of the database;
- Develop a method for updating the database using underlying existing data;
- Develop a method for generating synthetic samples from the database.

This database will form the department's new evidence base for all policy making and analysis on non-domestic buildings.
