You can read guidance for landlords on the regulations and exemptions.
Breakdown of property’s energy performance
Features in this property
Features get a rating from very good to very poor, based on how energy efficient they are. Ratings are not based on how well features work or their condition.
Assumed ratings are based on the property's age and type. They are used for features the assessor could not inspect.
| Feature | Description | Rating |
|---|---|---|
| Wall | Cavity wall, as built, no insulation (assumed) | Poor |
| Window | Fully double glazed | Good |
| Main heating | Boiler and radiators, mains gas | Good |
| Main heating control | Programmer and room thermostat | Average |
| Hot water | From main system | Good |
| Lighting | Low energy lighting in 50% of fixed outlets | Good |
| Roof | (another dwelling above) | N/A |
| Floor | Suspended, no insulation (assumed) | N/A |
| Secondary heating | None | N/A |
Primary energy use
The primary energy use for this property per year is 166 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
Additional information

- Dwelling may be exposed to wind-driven rain
How this affects your energy bills
An average household would need to spend £451 per year on heating, hot water and lighting in this property. These costs usually make up the majority of your energy bills.
You could save £84 per year if you complete the suggested steps for improving this property’s energy rating.
This is based on average costs in 2014 when this EPC was created. People living at the property may use different amounts of heating, hot water and lighting.
Heating this property
Estimated energy needed in this property is:
- 4,281 kWh per year for heating
- 1,722 kWh per year for hot water

Environmental impact of this property
This property’s current environmental impact rating is C. It has the potential to be B.
Properties get a rating from A (best) to G (worst) on how much carbon dioxide (CO2) they produce each year. CO2 harms the environment.
Carbon emissions
- An average household produces
- 6 tonnes of CO2
- This property produces
- 1.6 tonnes of CO2
- This property’s potential production
- 1.2 tonnes of CO2
You could improve this property’s CO2 emissions by making the suggested changes. This will help to protect the environment.
These ratings are based on assumptions about average occupancy and energy use. People living at the property may use different amounts of energy.
Changes you could make
Do I need to follow these steps in order?
Yes. Each step builds on the one before it so you can save the most energy.
For example, it’s more energy efficient to insulate your home before you buy a new boiler. A well insulated home will lose less heat so you do not have to run your boiler as often.
Step 1: Cavity wall insulation
- Typical installation cost
- £500 - £1,500
- Typical yearly saving
- £25.19
Step 2: Floor insulation
- Typical installation cost
- £800 - £1,200
- Typical yearly saving
- £44.80
Step 3: Low energy lighting
- Typical installation cost
- £15
- Typical yearly saving
- £14.51
Paying for energy improvements
You might be able to get a grant from the Boiler Upgrade Scheme. This will help you buy a more efficient, low carbon heating system for this property.

Show information about the 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.
