Notes
- Low Income Low Energy Efficiency (LILEE) indicator. DESNZ changed its energy efficiency assumptions between 2017 and 2019, so earlier years are not directly comparable; it estimates shares to 2017 would be about 2 points lower on the current basis. The latest year is modelled from English Housing Survey data.
