Existing buildings represent significant energy saving opportunities because their performance level is usually far below current efficiency potentials.
Added to this, the repurposing of existing buildings for new uses, is the best way to lower the embodied carbon of construction.
We have experience of working on a range of historic building types including solid wall, cavity wall and timber frame. using both internal (IWI) and external (EWI) wall insulation.
We have a detailed understanding of the physics of moisture movement, thermal bridging and the risks of surface and interstitial condensation.
To avoid these issues it is critical to make suitable choices for materials, detail them correctly and ensure that they are well constructed.
