46% of the energy performance certificates lodged across East Dunbartonshire's postcode districts are below band C (19,986 certificates), and 50% of privately rented homes. Clarity measures areas rather than individual homes, so this is the share of the local stock likely to need energy-efficiency work before it meets a band C standard, not a survey of any one property.

The five-year forecast quoted above (Savills, Scotland) is a regional figure for Scotland as a whole, not a forecast for East Dunbartonshire, and Clarity does not rank on it.
