should be noted that it is difficult to make accurate year on year comparisons and
there have been slight changes in the methodology used to derive EPC ratings over
time. Overall, the number of dwellings in England is increasing and so the total increase
in band A-C dwellings is higher than the number of D-Gs improved to band A-C due to
new dwellings.</p>
