What is Retrofitting ?

retrofit

Retrofitting is the process of upgrading existing buildings to improve energy efficiency, comfort, and sustainability. It involves making strategic improvements to insulation, ventilation, heating and cooling systems, and overall energy usage. By retrofitting your home, you can reduce energy consumption, lower utility bills, and create a more comfortable living environment for you and your family. This can include installing energy-efficient windows and doors, upgrading insulation, sealing air leaks, installing more efficient heating and cooling systems such as heat pumps, and integrating renewable energy sources like solar panels. Retrofitting is an important strategy for reducing carbon emissions and improving the sustainability of buildings, particularly older ones that may not meet modern energy efficiency standards.

Key Measures in Home Energy Retrofit

Enhancing Efficiency and Comfort

Renewable Energy Heat Pump
Enhance the coziness of your living space by upgrading to a heat pump, which not only improves your home's comfort but also slashes heating expenses, lowers energy consumption, and minimizes greenhouse gas emissions.
Insulation
Upgrading insulation can significantly decrease heating expenses and enhance warmth. Upgrading your roof or attic insulation can cut heat loss by up to 30%, making it one of the most cost-effective energy-saving measures.
Ventilation
Ensuring proper ventilation is essential for a healthy living environment. Sealing up a drafty house isn't about preventing fresh air exchange; it's about managing it effectively.
Airtightness
While insulation effectively seals a house thermally, pesky draughts can undermine its benefits, leading to increased expenses.
Door and Window Upgrades
Draughts through windows and doors are uncomfortable and increase your heating bills. Upgrade your doors and windows to current standards to reduce outside noise and heat loss by 10%.
Solar Energy Systems
Despite Ireland's climate, solar energy remains a viable option, capable of fulfilling 50-60% of your electricity or hot water requirements while cutting down on energy expenses.
