Retrofit Assessment – What do we do?
Limited Offer! For residents on postcode BA15 only, we are offering a 40% discount on the above fees, therefore you pay £300 + VAT for any dwelling up to 4 bedrooms.
We complete a detailed survey of your property including construction details and layout survey, what your existing heating and hot water provision is , how its controlled, and identify if there are any underlying problems, for example damp or condensation. We also aim to gain an understanding of how you use the property (heating patterns, ventilation, energy bills) and the desired outcome from the energy saving improvements.
An Energy Report will be produced, as a starting point using the RdSAP methodology from the existing.
The Condition Report will also detail any building defects like damp/condensation issues, or other building problems required before any energy saving measures can be installed.
Finally, an optional part is the Occupancy Evaluation will look at your previous years energy bills and the way you use energy in your house, so that together with the Energy Report you have a clear understanding of how energy used, and where improvements can be made.
Depending on the size of the house and what your requirements are, a survey will take approximately 2 – 3 hrs, and we spend at least a further half day working on the desk top study.
The information we provide can be tailored to your specific requirements in addition to the standard reporting structure detailed above as these can be less informative when it comes to the detail required.
We can complete an Improvement Option Evaluation Report. The report provides a clear and concise tabulation of the capital cost, simple payback, and carbon cost effectiveness of both individual and grouped improvement measures. I can also model measures recommended by the Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)/ Energy Report, as well as alternative measures where the increase in energy rating is small (this can include measures such as air and ground source heat pumps). There is an extra fee for this.
