This figure also ranks them as the third worst in the country after Leitrim and Roscommon.
Laois achieved the highest BER efficiency - more than a quarter of homes there are in the top five categories.
The O'Moore County also has the youngest houses - with an average age of 30.
Westmeath isn't far behind in that regard - the average age there is 31.
It's also the most populated county.
There's 2,500 more homes in the Lake County than anywhere else in the Midlands.
