Double glazing is installed, though the efficiency rating suggests older units. Modern low-E double glazing can be up to 40% more efficient than units installed before 2002. Estimated annual energy costs are £2237, comprising £1728 for heating, £404 for hot water, and £105 for lighting. The property produces 3.6 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home.
