Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
