Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This detached bungalow is located in CAMBRIDGE, CB23 7PG. The property offers 77.3m² (832 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 6 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. Currently rated F (26/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. The walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency. The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. 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 £1533, comprising £1002 for heating, £472 for hot water, and £59 for lighting. The property produces 6.9 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home.
