PCDB (SEDBUK) and HARP databases

The Products Characteristics Database (PCDB, formerly known as SEDBUK) for the UK and the Home-heating Appliance Register of Performance (HARP) for Ireland provide data for assessments of building energy performance. These are owned by the UK and Irish governments respectively. We work closely with the UK governments contractor, BRE and with the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland.
