Retrofit Case Studies (In Progress)
Hampstead House

Address: Hampstead, London
Size: 5,000 ft2 with indoor pool
Existing EPC: Band E (53 Points)

Currently underway is the transformation of a five-bedroom Hampstead residence. The client wants to achieve an “A” rating EPC eventually.

In progress is the enhancement of a three-bedroom Grade II listed building in Islington. Currently, the home has a “D” rating. Our objective, guided by an initial energy assessment, is to achieve a minimum EPC B rating.
This listed property has begun to see the advantages of recent energy-efficient implementations such as full loft insulation; LED lighting added throughout, and interior design choices such as custom wool curtains throughout to ward off drafts. Future plans (pending Landlord and council approval) include the integration of solar PV, an air source heat pump, and internal wall insulation to further elevate its energy efficiency.

The refurbishment includes loft and Cavity Wall insulation and the replacement of 4 single glazed sash windows with custom-made wood frame double-glazing. The interior design specification includes low-VOC paint, refurbishment and enhancement of pre-existing joinery and woodwork and various biodegradable flooring throughout.
