Change over Time Analysis (CoTA) tool
DECC has prepared the energy consumption version of the CoTA tool created by the Office for National Statistics.
Change over Time Analysis (CoTA) Viewer is a visual tool with accompanying Excel worksheets, which assists the analysis of change over time for small areas. In this version, electricity and gas data from 2005 to 2009 are used to analyse change at Middle – Layer Super Output Area in England and Wales.
This tool supports the strategy for analysing change over time for small areas created by Neighborhood Statistics.
To assist our users in efficient use of the CoTA tool, we have prepared the Guidance note.
This document provides step-by-step instructions on how to use the tool and explains its capabilities and statistical terminology.
Further information regarding CoTA can be found in the March 2010 edition of ‘Energy Trends’.
The tool can be downloaded in the following two versions:
