The University of Keele misreported D78e.C13: Sum of non-residential GIA (D11(C13)) in DEC or EPC category E Total non-residential in their 2011/12 Estate Management Statistics return. The figure has been suppressed from the main table. The corrected figure is as follows:

D78e.C13: Sum of Non-Residential GIA (D11(C13)) in DEC or EPC category E Total Non-Residential (m2) = 13412 m2.

D38c.C01b: Energy emissions Total HEI – Gas .

The Institute of Education has not returned a figure for SMTESUS - Teaching area covered by the Space Utilisation Survey within their 2012/13 Estates Management record return. They have confirmed that this is due to the provider not having undertaken a recent space utilisation survey and therefore they do not hold sufficiently detailed data on which to calculate their centrally controlled teaching space.

University of Wales Trinity Saint David have informed us that space had been inadvertently mis-labelled in 2013/14 for Teaching NIA total. The correction is as follows: 37204.22

University of Wales Trinity Saint David have informed us that space had been inadvertently mis-labelled in 2014/15 for Teaching NIA total. The corrections is as follows: 35680.6

University of Wales Trinity Saint David have informed us that space had been inadvertently mis-labelled in 2013/14 for Teaching not offices NIA. The correction is as follows: 29,786.32.

University of Wales Trinity Saint David have informed us that space had been inadvertently mis-labelled in 2014/15 for Teaching not offices NIA. The correction is as follows: 28,324.5

King's College London has reported that the significant decrease to data item BNIATE - Teaching not offices percentage of all NIA (net internal area) used for timetabled teaching from 45.3% in 2011/12 to 8% in 2012/13 was due to errors being made in the interpretation of the data item in 2011/12 and before. This figure was previously reported as a percentage of the NIA teaching not offices rather than all NIA used for timetabled teaching.

Loughborough University has misreported a number of items within Table 8 of their 2012/13 Finance Statistics return.  These have been suppressed and show within the data as '..'.  The affected items, with corrected figures, are as follows:

Other operations - Buildings, Total actual spend £000s: 13,816. 

Other operations - Buildings, Internal funds £000s: (12,191).

Total capital expenditure, Total actual spend £000s: 20,863.

Total capital expenditure, Internal funds £000s: (4,851). 

Please note that the following 2012/13 EMR data items will also be affected by this error: FNRCEX - Non-residential capital expenditure buildings; FCEXT - Total capital expenditure buildings.

In 2014/15, Swansea University have confirmed that they incorrectly reported their (EREGONF) Total renewable energy generated onsite or offsite as 42,160.000 kwh. Their value for Total renewable energy generated onsite or offsite should have been 193,384 kwh.

University of Stirling was not able to supply the data for the year 2020/21 due to its staffing issues. The values have been taken over from 2019/20 since Total scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions (Kg CO2e) is a mandatory field which cannot be left blank. 

In 2016/17, University of the West of England, Bristol misreported their SMSAT – Total site area and SMGAT – Total grounds area. The submitted values of 84.772 and 80.780 respectively, should read 68.429 and 55.561.

In 2016/17, Edge Hill University reported the total waste mass figure (EWMT) in Kg and not metric tonnes, therefore the figure should read 523.286 not 523,286.00 as recorded. EMWRCT and EWMENT should also have been recorded in metric tonnes and not Kg.

For 2018/19, Royal Veterinary College omitted data for Total waste mass composting, and, Total waste mass used to create energy.

University of the West of Scotland entered a value of 135,939 for Total waste mass recycled (EWMRECT) for 2018/19. This should have been submitted as 135.93. This represents a difference of 135,803.07 Tonnes

Plymouth College of Art submitted incorrect figures for 4 waste fields in the Estates management return in 2014/15, 2015/16 and 2016/17 due to their waste provider supplying them grossly incorrect estimated figures based on overall lorry capacity, rather than kg per bin. Revised estimated figures based on average kg per bin have been supplied to replace this data as per the table below.

King's College London have made us aware that following a review of their 2014/15 Waste Mass returns, they have made the following recalculations:

• Non-Residential Waste Mass Recycled (ENRWMREC) should have been 641.999 tonnes
• Non-Residential Waste Mass Incineration (ENRWMINC) should have been 171.6 t
• Non-Residential Waste Mass Anaerobic Digestion (ENRWMADI) should have been 45.546t
• Non-Residential Waste Mass Landfill (ENRWMLAN) should have been 0.321t
• Non-Residential Waste Mass Used to Create Energy (ENRWMENE) should have been 721.978t
• Non-Residential Waste Mass Other (ENRWMOTH) should have been 85.8t
• Residential Waste Mass Recycled (ERWMREC) should have been 72.414t
• Residential Waste Mass Used to Create Energy (ERWMENE) should have been 174.151t
• Other Works Waste Mass Recycled (EOWMREC) should have been 20.470t
• Other Works Waste Mass Landfill (EOWMLAN) should have been 0.000t
• Other Works Waste Mass Used to Create Energy (EOWMENE) should have been 0.65t

In 2021/22, there were significant reductions observed in the values reported by The University of Leeds for measures related to waste mass across various fields. Over the past few years, construction has been the primary contributor to waste mass. However, with the completion of major construction projects and no new projects initiated, there have been genuine reductions in waste levels.

In 2021/22, The University of St. Andrews reported reductions in various waste-related fields which were driven by an increase in energy derived from waste and a decrease in landfill waste.

The Water consumption figure (D38b.C01) for The University of Strathclyde appears blank within their data, this is due to a component part of this total being returned blank rather than zero. The figures should be:

D38b.C13: Water consumption Total Non-Residential (m3) = 242093

D38b.C14: Water consumption Residential (m3) = 0

D38b.C01: Water consumption Total HEI (m3) = 242093
