About 47a

Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Average, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while main heating dropped from Poor to Very Poor. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from November 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
