A home retrofit project designed to deliver a low carbon building is a big undertaking with even bigger results, so it pays to have the experts on your side when you come to commission a retrofit scheme. Here’s a quick overview of the services we provide when we coordinate your retrofit project.
A house is a living, breathing eco-system, and the first action of any low energy home retrofit project is to collect all the information possible about how your building behaves when it’s occupied, and when it’s not. Any house or other building is more than just the bricks and mortar, but our assessors take all of that into account as a starting point, assessing the layout and construction of the building as well as existing efficiency measures, alterations, damp and condensation. We operate to PAS 2035 standards, which means we consider the whole building and its use, much more than a basic EPC. This means as well as the fabric of the building, Rethink Retrofit also considers things like usage patterns, heating programmes, ventilation levels and your current energy bills: all to establish a true picture of how your building actually works from an energy efficiency perspective.
Taking into account all of the information we gain at the retrofit assessment stage, we can also produce a Whole House Plan, which creates a workable blueprint around which you can plan your retrofit. This will establish all the measures that it’s possible for you to take in order to make significant changes to your building’s energy efficiency, potentially lowering your carbon emissions and cutting energy bills with green technology.
Your plan will be realistic and achievable, driven by accurate and up to date data, and informed by years of experience in the low carbon retrofit sector. This empowers you to make an informed decision about next steps, and how you’re going to begin your low emissions journey. It will give you a step by step plan, which can be done in small affordable stages or in larger chunks. The plan will ensure that the risks of unwanted unintended consequences can be minimised and you can improve your home with confidence.
At Rethink Retrofit, we pride ourselves on our ability to see projects through from start to finish, enabling you to have expert advice and input all the way from inception to delivery. Once you have made your choices based on high quality data, we can engage trusted and skilled contractors across a wide range of industries and skills to carry out the works to a high standard.
Not only is this cheaper and easier for you, it also ensures that there is a single thread running through the whole retrofit project, with joined up decision making and a logical plan to get from A to B. With an exceptional project team and a unrivalled access to high quality contractors in any and every retrofit field, we can offer support in: replacement insulation, low energy heat networks, heat pumps and solar panels, underfloor heating, energy saving window replacement, and much more.
