Heat Loss Assessments

Heat Loss Assessments determine how much energy escapes a building through its fabric (walls, roof, floor, windows) and ventilation, which is essential for accurately sizing heating systems like heat pumps. Data driven design ensures that a proposal will be able to reduce bills and make homes warmer and is often required to be eligible for government funding

Assessments can range from simple, free DIY checks to professional in-depth technical surveys. Whilst a professional home energy assessment is the best way to determine where your home is losing energy, a householder can conduct a simple but diligent walk through and spot many problems in any type of house.
