A home that loses heat in winter and gains heat in summer costs a lot in energy bills. An energy upgrade improves comfort, reduces costs and raises the property value. Much of the work is done within the envelope and finishing works.
Windows and insulation – the front line
Insulating windows (double glazing) and sealing around the frames prevent heat and noise loss. Thermal insulation in walls and roof is the most worthwhile investment – it keeps a pleasant temperature all year.
Cold bridges and moisture
Points where the insulation is interrupted create “cold bridges” that cause condensation, moisture and mold. Locating and treating them, together with correct waterproofing, prevents health problems and damage to the building.
Shading and smart ventilation
Correct shading in summer and natural ventilation reduce the need for air conditioning. Combining all of these makes the home economical, healthy and pleasant – and the savings repay the investment within years.
