The calculation is made using the characteristics of the home which include, but are not limited to: – the age of property, heating system, heating controls, insulation, glazing and lighting.
Once the calculation is made you will receive an 8 page report that will outline your score and give recommendations on how your rating can be improved. It is advised to act on the recommendations but you are under no legal obligation to do so.
