The National Energy Efficiency Data-Framework (NEED) was set up to provide a better understanding of energy use and energy efficiency in domestic and non-domestic buildings in Great Britain.

The data framework matches gas and electricity consumption data, collected for DESNZ subnational energy consumption statistics, with information on energy efficiency measures installed in homes, from government schemes, such as the Energy Company Obligation (ECO) and the Green Homes Grant. It also includes data about property attributes and household characteristics, obtained from a range of sources.

The Domestic National Energy Efficiency Data-Framework (NEED) brings together information on domestic gas and electricity consumption with other information about domestic properties and the households that live in them. The full NEED dataset is not published. However, DESNZ publishes two samples of the full NEED dataset (one containing 4,000,000 properties and one containing 50,000 properties) designed to be representative of domestic properties in England and Wales, while ensuring that information about individual households remains protected.
