The EHS brings together two previous survey series into a single fieldwork operation: the English House Condition Survey (EHCS) (available from the UK Data Archive under GN 33158) and the Survey of English Housing (SEH) (available under GN 33277). The EHS covers all housing tenures. The information obtained through the survey provides an accurate picture of people living in the dwelling, and their views on housing and their neighbourhoods. The survey is also used to inform the development and monitoring of the Ministry's housing policies. Results from the survey are also used by a wide range of other users including other government departments, local authorities, housing associations, landlords, academics, construction industry professionals, consultants, and the general public. The EHS has a complex multi-stage methodology consisting of two main elements; an initial interview survey of around 12,000 households and a follow-up physical inspection. Some further elements are also periodically included in or derived from the EHS: for 2008 and 2009, a desk-based market valuation was conducted of a sub-sample of 8,000 dwellings (including vacant ones), but this was not carried out from 2010 onwards. A periodic follow-up survey of private landlords and agents (the Private Landlords Survey (PLS)) is conducted using information from the EHS interview survey. Fuel Poverty datasets are also available from 2003, created by the Department for Energy and Climate Change (DECC). The EHS interview survey sample formed part of the Integrated Household Survey (IHS) (available from the Archive under GN 33420) from April 2008 to April 2011. During this period the core questions from the IHS formed part of the EHS questionnaire. Safeguarded and Special Licence Versions: From 2014 data onwards, the Safeguarded versions (previously known as End User Licence (EUL)) of the EHS will only include derived variables. In addition the number of variables on the new EUL datasets has been reduced and disclosure control increased on certain remaining variables. New Special Licence versions of the EHS will be deposited later in the year, which will be of a similar nature to previous EHS EUL datasets and will include derived and raw datasets. Further information about the EHS and the latest news, reports and tables can be found on the GOV.UK <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/english-housing-survey" title="English Housing Survey (EHS)" target="_blank">English Housing Survey </a> web pages. The EFUS 2017 Energy and Temperature Monitoring Data study contains an anonymised subset of the data collected by the Energy Follow Up Survey 2017. The Energy Follow Up Survey (EFUS) is a large interview and measurement survey of household occupancy and heating patterns, thermal comfort and energy consumption over 2017 to 2019, with a particular focus on fuel poor households. EFUS represents a detailed follow-up to the English Housing Survey (EHS), although it should be noted that this subset does not allow for linking with EHS records. This subset contains half hourly energy metering data, and where available matching temperature monitoring data for different rooms in those households. Alongside the energy and temperature monitoring data this dataset also contains aggregated responses to household energy use questions in the survey, and basic characteristics of the household and home.The EFUS 2017 aims to provide detailed, up to date information on patterns of household and dwelling energy use. Within this survey, householders are asked questions about the type and usage patterns of the main and secondary heating systems in their homes, the water heating system and usage, dwelling insulation, lighting indoor temperatures and the use of appliances. The EFUS 2017 was a follow-up survey of a sample of respondents from the 2014/15 to 2016/17 English Housing Surveys. In comparison to the previous EFUS 2011 (see SN 7471), the EFUS 2017 provided more detailed data on energy consumption, and the use of heating, hot water and appliances. In addition, there was a greater focus on the energy consumption and behaviours of fuel poor households. The last large-scale national survey to consider the detailed use of heating systems and other sources of energy use in homes was the EFUS 2011 (see SN 7471).Data FormatsThese data are available in CSV and R '.rds' format; see the User Guide for details. One CSV download package is available, which contains both formats.Main Topics: Data covers patterns of household and dwelling energy use, including detailed information on the use of heating systems, cooking and appliance use in households. 4 May 2017 - 29 April 201904 May 201729 April 2019 England Families/householdsNational Subset of data from 479 homes with energy consumption monitoring data from the overall EFUS 2017 sample of 2,662 homes.
