Building Energy Efficient Homes through the power of retrofit
Our goal is to create healthy homes that are comfortable, cost-effective to run, and have a lower carbon footprint
This way we can contribute to a sustainable future and strive for a net-zero housing sector
Energy Performance Certificates
Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) assess the energy efficiency of a building, providing a rating from A (highly efficient) to G (inefficient).
They offer valuable information to property owners, helping them make informed decisions about energy consumption & environmental impact.
Retrofit Assessments
It outlines a systematic approach to evaluating & planning energy-efficient improvements.
It involves a holistic assessment, considering factors like building condition, energy usage, and occupant needs to guide effective retrofit strategies.
RETROFIT COORDINATION
It is a process of overseeing the implementation of energy-efficient measures.
It ensures the delivery of retrofit project to best practice and management of onsite works to ensure improved building performance whilst considering the comfort and well-being of the occupants.

All you need to know about Domestic Retrofit
1. Retrofit Assessment
An Assessor who will be an Accredited PAS 2035 Retrofit Assessor, Building Surveyor and Domestic Energy Assessor, will carry out an inspection of the building and evaluates the current condition of the property, conducts an energy assessment and asks a quick few questions about occupancy to identify areas for improvement.
2. Retrofit Plan
Based on the Retrofit Assessment, a PAS 2035 Retrofit Coordinator develops a detailed plan outlining recommended energy-efficient upgrades and renovations, considering factors such as insulation, heating systems, and renewable energy options contained with in an Improvement Option Evaluation and Medium Term Plan known as a Whole House Plan.
3. Retrofit Design
Based on the Whole House Plan a Retrofit Designer will create a formal design and specification to ensure the chosen retrofit measures are integrated seamlessly and optimised to the home being retrofitted. The retrofit designer ensures that the retrofit plan aligns with industry standards and regulations.
4. Retrofit Installation
The chosen PAS 2030 Accredited Contractors execute the retrofit plan, which can include installing insulation, upgrading heating and ventilation systems, and incorporating energy-saving technologies. Throughout the duration the Retrofit Coordinator will oversee the works for quality assurance and ensure all testing, commissioning and handovers have been completed and documented in accordance with PAS 2035.
5. Evaluation and Monitoring
A follow-up assessment is performed by Retrofit Coordinator and Specialist Consultants to confirm that the retrofit measures have effectively improved the property’s energy performance and reduced its environmental impact. This might comprise of questionnaires and/ or performance testing.
