Dublin 18 was the most energy efficient while Dublin 3 and Dublin 7 were the least energy efficient

Household reference persons in the 18-34 age group live in more energy-efficient dwellings that reflect more recent building trends. In Dublin 18, 33% of dwellings with a reference person in the 18-34 age group had a "B" rating while a further 45% had a "C" rating. In Dublin 16, 28% of such households had a "B" rating while the figure was 26% with a "B" rating in Dublin 13. Conversely Dublin 3, Dublin 6, and Dublin 7 had 13% of households with a "G" rating for the 18-34 age group. In the 75 years or over category, 16% of households in Dublin 3 had a "G" rating while 15% in Dublin 7 had a "G" rating (see Figure 3.1).

For households owned outright, the older Dublin postal districts had higher levels of "G" ratings than of "B" ratings. For example, in Dublin 3 there were 12% of households owned without a mortgage that had a "G" rating compared with 7% with a "B" rating. Dublin postal districts 7, 8, 10, and 12 had similar patterns of higher "G" rated dwellings in this category. In contrast, there were 18% of households owned outright with a "B" rating in Dublin 18 while only 3% had a "G" rating.

Households owned with a mortgage and rented households tended to have better energy-efficiency ratings than houses owned outright. The proportion of "B" rated rented dwellings was particularly high in Dublin 13 (27%), Dublin 16 (27%), and Dublin 18 (25%).

Households with a reference person who was retired had some similar characteristics to households that were owned without a mortgage. In Dublin postal districts 3, 7, 9, and 12 there were higher percentages of "G" ratings than of "B" ratings. A similar situation existed in Dublin 3, Dublin 6, and Dublin 7 for household reference persons who were unable to work due to sickness or disability. There were high proportions of "G" rated dwellings for single person households in Dublin 3 (15%), Dublin 6 (18%), and Dublin 7 (17%).

Dublin 4 at 16% had the highest proportion of "G" rated dwellings for persons with a mobility difficulty inside the dwelling. Dublin 7 at 15% and Dublin 3 at 14% had the next highest proportions for this category.
