Residential Retrofit
What is Residential Retrofit?
In simple terms it is improving the energy efficiency of the dwelling via a whole house retrofit programme. The eventual aim is what you, the client, would like this to be, and could include a number of measures from improving insulation, replacing a heating system, improving ventilation and indoor air quality, installing renewable technologies or all of these. It can be undertaken on a room by room basis over a period of time, or the whole dwelling in one period. It can be a way of dealing with other problems like damp, mould and condensation issues too and of course should result in lower energy bills and reduce co2 emissions.
The important aspect of any retrofit is to have a good team to plan/design what is to be done, to implement the changes, the manage the process throughout, and provide a good handover at the end.
