How we can help
Engaging a PassivEnergy consultant during the design stage will enable us to run a number of preliminary energy ratings that will give us a room by room analysis of all the heating and cooling loads. From here we can work out where the weak points are and offer a range of solutions that will help improve the thermal comfort of your new home or extension that eliminates the hassles and expenses from design errors.
If you have ever thought about a living in a home that was not only comfortable to live in all year round, but also saved you money in heating and cooling bills. This is a good saving strategy given the overall running of your house continues to increase.
