Property118 Website Achieves High Energy Efficiency and Sustainability Ratings
Property118 has migrated its website to a fully sustainable, renewable-powered host and has measured significant improvements in both energy efficiency and performance. Independent testing tools have confirmed the website’s strong results in sustainability and user experience.
Accent Design Group Ltd, which has managed the Property118 website for over fifteen years, reported that the site was recently moved to a host powered entirely by renewable energy. Alongside this, the team has worked to reduce the download weight of the site, aiming to make each page more efficient.
According to GTmetrix, which tested the homepage on 18 July 2026, Property118 achieved an overall Grade A, with a Performance score of 96% and a Structure score of 95%. The site’s Core Web Vitals were also strong, with a Largest Contentful Paint of 1.4 seconds, a Total Blocking Time of 25 milliseconds, and a Cumulative Layout Shift of 0.
On the sustainability front, the Website Carbon Calculator (tested 18 July 2026) gave the site a carbon rating of A and confirmed it is running on sustainable energy. The site was rated cleaner than 83% of all web pages tested globally, with each visit producing only 0.07g of CO2.
Accent Design Group Ltd stated that these results are the outcome of both the hosting change and ongoing efforts to reduce the site’s weight. The company also noted that further improvements are planned as part of regular maintenance and support.
The article draws a parallel between the discipline required to maintain an efficient website and the requirements placed on landlords by the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) for rental properties. The process of auditing, reducing waste, switching to cleaner suppliers, and ongoing measurement is highlighted as relevant to both digital and property efficiency.
