A study from UK property portal Emoov found that London is the region containing the highest proportion of energy efficient houses, with 41.8% scoring an EPC rating of A-C.

The study also looked at the risk posed by climate change across the UK, and attempted to assess cities on eight criteria:

1. Overheating and humidity
2. Storm damage
3. Expected temperature rise
4. Rainy days
5. Rainfall amount
6. Soil heave
7. Slope factors
8. Part of the city underwater by 2100

The three most vulnerable cities identified were Brighton, Cardiff and Belfast, reflecting the fact that coastal cities are typically most at risk.
