Upgrade Your Home with Studio Bark’s Retrofit Appraisal Service
Are you looking to make your home more energy-efficient, comfortable, and environmentally friendly? Our Retrofit Appraisal Service provides you with the tools and knowledge to make informed decisions about upgrading your home; whether you’re looking to reduce energy costs, enhance comfort, or lower your carbon footprint.
What is Retrofitting?
Retrofitting is the process of improving the energy efficiency and overall performance of an existing building. By upgrading your home, you can reduce carbon emissions, save money on energy bills, and create a healthier, more comfortable living environment.
At Studio Bark, we use cutting-edge tools and expert knowledge to assess your home’s current performance and recommend the best solutions for improvement, based on our findings. Our Retrofit Appraisal Service identifies potential upgrades that could include:
- Insulating walls to reduce heat loss
- Upgrading windows
- Insulating floors and attics
- Draught-proofing measures to reduce airborne heat loss
- Adding technologies such as MVHR (mechanical ventilation with heat recovery)
We provide you with a detailed report that helps you understand how these upgrades can improve your home’s energy efficiency, thermal comfort, and environmental impact. Plus, we take into account any other home improvements you might have planned, so the retrofit process fits seamlessly with your broader vision.
Armed with this report, you’ll be in a strong position to make informed decisions about your home upgrades, saving money and reducing your home’s carbon footprint.
How it works
Our Retrofit Appraisal Service is designed to give you maximum insight into how to upgrade your home. Here’s how we do it:
- Thermal Modeling: We assess your home’s current energy performance using advanced thermal modeling techniques.
- Simulated Upgrades: We test various retrofit measures, calculating the potential reduction in heat demand for each option.
- Tailored Recommendations: Based on our findings, we provide clear and actionable recommendations to help you choose the most effective solutions for your home.
The process starts with a collaborative Q&A session to understand your goals and preferences. The entire appraisal typically takes 3 days to complete.
The appraisal is based upon information from a building condition survey report. If you dont already have one of these, we can discuss and help you to arrange this.
