There could be an energy classification system to make it visible to buyers, to have something that uses the same scale to measure all houses so it's possible to compare. For example estimated average heating bill.

In Norway all real estate listings have an "energy classification" as one of the main data points. Example from a random listing I pulled up: https://imgur.com/a/0M9cNad
Of course, most people haven't cared that much about it. But it's changing with higher energy prices. I had a friend regretting buying something with grade F, for same square meters he pays like 10x the amount for heating than I do in my C apartment. (scale from A..G)
