How Energy Efficient are Student Houses and Complexes?

Unipol have analysed all of the EPC information (from January to June 2011) on their website and below the line on the graphs shows the number of off street properties in each band. There are no A banded properties and very few B banded properties but there are a growing number of C and a large amount of D banded properties which, for mainly 19th century terrace housing, is indicative of a relatively good energy rating. The properties rated F and G are clearly the ones to watch. These are likely to be both expensive and difficult, to heat.

For comparative purposes, a new build complex which is electrically heated generally scores a D and if it is gas heated it will score a C.
