Saving energy and cost on property

DWR Architecture has gained accreditation from the Building Research Establishment as an Energy Performance Assessor (EPA) for existing domestic buildings.

DWR Architecture recently completed a feasibility study for a valued client on achievable Energy Improvements Measures & Return On Investment estimates for some of its existing properties.

Three levels of building improvements were evaluated:

  • Minimal low cost improvements including draught proofing and adding loft insulation were estimated to provide a 25% reduction in energy and heating requirements.
  • Additional measures including adding insulation to floors and walls, carrying out improvements to the windows and the heating system could provide a 64% improvement.
  • High level improvement measures including high standards of insulation, replacement high performance windows, heat recovery ventilation system, bio-fuel community boiler, solar heating and solar electric panels could result in a 78% reduction in energy requirements and approximately 90% reduction in carbon emissions.

The improvement specifications and  methods developed as a result of this study will be especially valuable when considering re-modelling, alterations and extensions work to existing properties.
