As of the first quarter of 2024, most housing units in England and Wales had a D rating in energy efficiency and environmental impact. Meanwhile, there were around 357,000 housing units in England and Wales with an environmental impact rating of A, meaning that they were very sustainable. However, it should be considered that these figures do not show the overall number of homes in these regions, just the ones that were in the registers.
