Sustainable Retrofitting

The greenest building is the one that already stands. We extend the life of existing structures with deep-energy upgrades, adaptive reuse, and Passivhaus-level performance standards.

EXISTING SHELL NEW ENVELOPE RETROFIT SECTION — PASSIVHAUS UPGRADE

Our Approach

Retrofitting is the most impactful climate strategy available to the built-environment sector. We approach every existing building with the same rigor we bring to new construction — measuring, modelling, and upgrading to meet modern standards.

Our team are certified Passivhaus designers and LEED APs who specialise in deep-energy retrofits. We balance thermal performance with heritage sensitivity, ensuring that improved efficiency never comes at the cost of architectural quality.

From fabric-first upgrades to full MEP overhauls, our retrofits typically reduce operational energy by 60-80% while improving comfort, air quality, and asset value.

Our Process

  1. 01

    Audit & Benchmarking

    Energy modelling, thermographic surveys, and fabric testing to establish baseline performance and identify weak points.

  2. 02

    Fabric-First Strategy

    Insulation upgrades, airtightness improvements, high-performance glazing, and thermal-bridge-free detailing.

  3. 03

    Systems Overhaul

    MVHR, heat pumps, solar PV, and smart controls that replace fossil-fuel heating with efficient electric systems.

  4. 04

    Certification & Handover

    Passivhaus EnerPHit, LEED, or BREEAM certification; post-completion monitoring to verify in-use performance.
