This help page describes the data report for public bodies called ‘Buildings details'. This report presents building-level consumption and emissions data for the buildings for which you have reported consumption data.
For detailed background information on the methodology for buildings see Buildings.
- The on-screen report comprises a header and four tabs, each of which contains a data table and a chart. It shows annual data for your largest buildings.
- There is also a comprehensive spreadsheet report available via the ‘Download XLS’ button. It contains annual consumption and emissions data for all buildings for which you have reported such data.
- Name of your organisation and its PSO ID.
- ‘Last year for which data reported’ indicates the most recent year for which data is shown in the report. Note that the data for this year could be incomplete, e.g. because you have not yet inputted some of your data.
- ‘Data status’ indicates how complete the data is for the most recent year.
This tab provides building-level final energy consumption data for the buildings with the highest reported energy consumption.
- There are ten filters and controls immediately above the table:
- Name: building name
- Type
- Sub-type
- Ownership
- Priority building, i.e. whether the building is one that your organisation has classified as being a significant energy user in the context of your organisation's energy use and achieving your 2030 targets.
- Mandatory energy data, i.e. whether the building has been classified by SEAI as one for which the reporting of building-level consumption data is mandatory in the building register.
- Tags, i.e. any user-defined tags your organisation has assigned to the building.
- Floor area (m2)
- Final energy 2025
- Units - toggle this option to display consumption in kWh or kWh/m2.
- You can use these filters to select which buildings to display in the table and chart.
- You can combine options from multiple filters to select the buildings you want to view.
- The table and chart show the 10 largest buildings (by final energy consumption) that match your selection criteria. Note that:
- The composition of the top 10 and the ranking within the top 10 is determined by the final energy consumption of the building in the most recent reporting year.
- Buildings for which you have not reported building-level consumption in the building register for the most recent reporting year are shown as having zero consumption.
- If you do not select any filter options, the table and chart display your 10 largest buildings by final energy consumption.
- The table shows the final energy consumption attributable to your organisation for the largest 10 buildings that meet your selection criteria. The buildings are listed in descending order of consumption in the most recent reporting year.
- The consumption data is presented in kWh or kWh/m2, depending on units selected.
- You can adjust the years displayed in the table using the period control.
- The colours indicate how each building's consumption has changed over the years displayed. The reddest red indicates the highest consumption for that building over the period displayed in the table, while the greenest green indicates the lowest consumption. Note that the colour variation is based on the years currently displayed in the table, so if you change the period shown the colour shade also changes.
- The chart shows the final energy consumption attributable to your organisation for the largest 10 buildings that meet your selection criteria.
- The consumption data is presented in kWh or kWh/m2, from the first year for which building-level consumption data is available onwards.
