reducing the performance gap for retrofit in the UK

Home Energy Doctor is about reducing the performance gap for retrofit in the UK – the performance gap is present in retrofit just as much as it’s a problem with new buildings.
Whatever the design methodology (PAS 2035, RdSAP, SAP, PHPP), unless the pre-retrofit building is tested the calculations are based on assumptions. This increases the risk of unintended consequences and the retrofit not performing as designed.
Home Energy Doctor is here to help reduce the performance gap!
By testing a building before any retrofit work, we can spot the specific issues that make each property unique. This means specifiers can design solutions that really fit the building, rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach. It also helps give reassurance that the retrofit work is more likely to deliver the results you’re hoping for.
