These figures show how much the average household would spend in this property for heating, lighting and hot
water and is not based on energy used by individual households. This excludes energy use for running appliances
like TVs, computers and cookers, and electricity generated by microgeneration.
Energy Efficiency Rating
The graph shows the current energy efficiency of your
home.
The higher the rating the lower your fuel bills are likely
to be.
The average energy efficiency rating for a dwelling in
England and Wales is band D (rating 60).
The EPC rating shown here is based on standard
assumptions about occupancy and energy use and
may not reflect how energy is consumed by individual
occupants.

Summary of this home's energy performance related features
Element Description Energy Efficiency
Walls Average thermal transmittance 0.25 w/m²k
Roof Average thermal transmittance 0.19 w/m²k
Floor (other premises below) —
Windows Fully double glazed
Main heating Room heaters, radiators, electric —
Main heating controls Programmer and room thermostats
Secondary heating None —
Hot water Electric immersion, standard tariff —
Lighting Low energy lighting in 75% of fixed outlets
Air tightness Air permeability 4.3 m³/h.m² (as tested)
Thermal transmittance is a measure of the rate of heat loss through a building element; the lower the value the better
the energy performance.
Air permeability is a measure of the air tightness of a building; the lower the value the better the air tightness.
Current primary energy use per square metre of floor area: 218 kWh/m² per year
Low and zero carbon energy sources
Low and zero carbon energy sources are sources of energy that release either very little or no carbon dioxide
into the atmosphere when they are used. Installing these sources may help reduce energy bills as well as cutting
carbon. There are none provided for this home.
Your home's heat demand
This table shows the energy used for space and water heating by an average household in this property.
Heat demand
Space heating (kWh per year) 2,112
Water heating (kWh per year) 1,736
If you built your own home and, as part of its construction, you installed a renewable heating system, you could
receive Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) payments. The estimated energy required for space and water heating will
form the basis of the payments. For more information, search for the domestic RHI on the www.gov.uk website.
Recommendations
None.

About the impact of buildings on the environment
One of the biggest contributors to global warming is carbon dioxide. The energy we use for heating, lighting and
power in homes produces over a quarter of the UK’s carbon dioxide emissions.
The average household causes about 6 tonnes of carbon dioxide every year. Based on this assessment, your home
currently produces approximately 2.3 tonnes of carbon dioxide every year. You could reduce emissions by switching
to renewable energy sources.
The environmental impact rating is a measure of a home's impact on the environment in terms of carbon dioxide
(CO2) emissions based on standardised assumptions about occupancy and energy use. The higher the rating the
less impact it has on the environment.
