If you are considering building an extension or remodelling an existing property, Studio BE. recommend taking a whole house approach. We provide sustainable architectural services for homeowners on their retrofit journey throughout the works to an existing property .

When a home is retrofitted, changes are made to increase its energy efficiency and comfort for the occupants. This might include fitting wall and roof insulation, improving the heating system, installing new doors and windows, putting in new ventilation, or installing solar panels. As well as energy bill reduction and reducing carbon emissions, retrofitting can make your home more modern and attractive. It can improve health conditions such as allergies, asthma, and eczema, as well as improving overall mental health and wellbeing. Homes are cosier, heat up quicker and cool down more slowly. LETI’s Climate Emergency Retrofit Guide provides more in-depth information on the environmental benefits of taking a whole house approach.

We suggest retrofitting to EnerPHit standards, the Passivhaus certification for works to existing buildings. Please get in touch if you have a retrofit project we could help you with.
