Criteria

Three-tier criteria
First tier criteria met if 50% or more of buildings in the area that have an EPC rating are rated C or above.

Second tier criteria met if more than 60% and then third tier criteria met if more than 90% of buildings in the area that have an EPC rating are rated C or above.

Clarifications

Environmental Performance Certificates (EPCs) show homebuyers or tenants how energy efficient the building is. The EPC contains information on potential energy costs and carbon dioxide emissions.

Not all buildings in the area have an EPC rating. We will be looking at only the ratings of the buildings that do have a rating.
