Latest certificate per building. Industrial and warehouse uses (B2 and B8), floor area over 1,000 m² as declared on the EPC; 1 m² is 10.7639 sq ft. Share below B counts buildings rated C to G. Where a local authority has only a few buildings over 1,000 m², one certificate moves its share a lot, so read the share with the count. 188 buildings have no local authority on their EPC, so they count in the national figures but not here.
