What is Retrofit?
Retrofit involves upgrading existing buildings to improve energy efficiency, comfort, and air quality. This includes adding insulation, improving airtightness, and installing energy-efficient heating systems. My role is to coordinate the entire process to ensure the highest standards are met.
What is EnerPHit?
EnerPHit is a certification for retrofitting older buildings to Passive House standards. It focuses on achieving high energy efficiency and comfort, even in buildings that weren’t originally built to these standards. It’s ideal for anyone looking to drastically reduce energy bills and improve their home’s comfort.
