Cheltenham Open Data Maps Home Energy Ratings by Ward

How energy efficient Cheltenham's homes are, ward by ward, from their Energy Performance Certificates.

By Mat Benfield · Published 2026-10-11

Cheltenham Open Data has published a new home energy ratings page, showing how energy efficient the town’s homes are.

Using the latest Energy Performance Certificate for more than 43,000 homes, the page shows how many are rated each letter from A to G, and maps every ward and neighbourhood by the share of homes rated C or better. You can also shade the map by any single rating, such as where the most F and G rated homes are. Each ward page now has its own energy ratings section too.

Just under half of Cheltenham’s homes with a certificate are rated C or better, the level the government wants as many homes as possible to reach by 2035. The typical home scores 68 on the energy scale behind the letters, one point short of a C, but more than nine in ten could reach C or better with the improvements their own certificates recommend.

The page also breaks ratings down by type of home, tenure and main heating. Homes with a heat pump score highest, and flats do better than houses.

FAQs

What Does the Energy Ratings Page Show?

  • The number and share of homes in each rating from A to G, the share rated C or better (C+), the median rating and energy score, how many homes could reach C, a map of every ward and small neighbourhood area, and tables by ward, area, type of home, tenure and heating.

Where Does the Data Come From?

  • The Energy Performance of Buildings Register, published by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government under the Open Government Licence. Only area totals are shown, never individual homes.

Can I Look Up My Own Home?

Why Does C Matter?

  • Band C is the government’s benchmark for an energy-efficient home, and privately rented homes will need to reach it by October 2030.
