What this does not say
Quoted verbatim from the section’s warnings field, exactly as the API returns it. They are not translated: a translation would show something other than what your response actually contains.
- An average over a sample of households in the county from SSB's energy survey, which runs every few years (survey_year says which); it is a baseline to compare a bill or an energy certificate against, not a measurement of this dwelling.
- Published only for the 2020-2023 counties: an address in Østfold, Akershus or Buskerud reads Viken, in Vestfold or Telemark reads Vestfold og Telemark, in Troms or Finnmark reads Troms og Finnmark. survey_region_name names the region actually used.
Fields
10 of 17 fields are value fields — the ones that decide whether a record actually says anything. The rest are context: identifiers, codes and timestamps. Fields marked “open” return values to anonymous callers; the rest require a key.
