Energy efficiency rating for this property

This property’s current energy rating is F. It has the potential to be D.

See how to improve this property’s energy performance.

The graph shows this property’s current and potential energy efficiency.

Properties are given a rating from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient).

Properties are also given a score. The higher the number the lower your fuel bills are likely to be.

For properties in Northern Ireland:

the average energy rating is D
the average energy score is 60

Breakdown of property’s energy performance

This section shows the energy performance for features of this property. The assessment does not consider the condition of a feature and how well it is working.

Each feature is assessed as one of the following:

very good (most efficient)
good
average
poor
very poor (least efficient)

When the description says “assumed”, it means that the feature could not be inspected and an assumption has been made based on the property’s age and type.

Feature	Description	Rating
Wall	Cavity wall, filled cavity	Average
Wall	Cavity wall, as built, insulated (assumed)	Good
Roof	Pitched, 270 mm loft insulation	Good
Roof	Flat, insulated (assumed)	Average
Window	Fully double glazed	Average
Main heating	Boiler and radiators, oil	Poor
Main heating control	Programmer, no room thermostat	Very poor
Hot water	From main system, no cylinder thermostat	Very poor
Lighting	Low energy lighting in 55% of fixed outlets	Good
Floor	Solid, no insulation (assumed)	N/A
Secondary heating	Room heaters, coal	N/A

Primary energy use

The primary energy use for this property per year is 376 kilowatt hours per square metre (kWh/m2).

What is primary energy use?

Primary energy use is a measure of the energy required for lighting, heating and hot water in a property. The calculation includes:

the efficiency of the property’s heating system
power station efficiency for electricity
the energy used to produce the fuel and deliver it to the property

Environmental impact of this property

One of the biggest contributors to climate change is carbon dioxide (CO2). The energy used for heating, lighting and power in our homes produces over a quarter of the UK’s CO2 emissions.

An average household produces: 6 tonnes of CO2
This property produces: 9.9 tonnes of CO2
This property’s potential production: 5.7 tonnes of CO2

By making the recommended changes, you could reduce this property’s CO2 emissions by 4.2 tonnes per year. This will help to protect the environment.

Environmental impact ratings are based on assumptions about average occupancy and energy use. They may not reflect how energy is consumed by the people living at the property.

How to improve this property’s energy performance

Potential energy rating

Making any of the recommended changes will improve this property’s energy efficiency.

If you make all of the recommended changes, this will improve the property’s energy rating and score from F (32) to D (61).

What is an energy rating?

An energy rating shows a property’s energy efficiency.

Properties are given a rating from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient).

Properties are also given a score. The higher this number, the lower your CO2 emissions are likely to be.

Assessment details

Assessor’s declaration: No related party
Date of assessment: 23 August 2021
Date of certificate: 23 August 2021
Type of assessment: RdSAP

RdSAP (Reduced data Standard Assessment Procedure) is a method used to assess and compare the energy and environmental performance of properties in the UK. It uses a site visit and survey of the property to calculate energy performance.

This type of assessment can be carried out on properties built before 1 April 2008 in England and Wales, and 30 September 2008 in Northern Ireland. It can also be used for newer properties, as long as they have a previous SAP assessment, which uses detailed information about the property’s construction to calculate energy performance.
