The latest certificate (November 2015) shows a C (score 71). The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since October 2012. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 88). The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
