Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on bulk wood pellets.
