Retrofitted Systems

Whenever possible Future Homes Design & Build will retrofit or ‘reuse’ existing buildings within schemes. Retrofit refers to the process of upgrading or modernizing an existing building or system to improve its performance, efficiency, safety, or aesthetics.

Retrofits can be carried out on various building components, such as heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, lighting, windows, insulation, roofing, and façade. The goal of retrofitting is to enhance the performance of an older building or system to meet the current energy codes, safety regulations, and user requirements. Our retrofitting work complements the government’s net zero home efficiency targets.

Retrofitting can provide several benefits, such as reducing energy consumption, lowering utility bills, increasing comfort and indoor air quality, enhancing building resiliency, and extending the life of the building.

Overall, retrofitting is an essential strategy for reducing the carbon footprint of the built environment and achieving sustainability goals. Retrofitting existing buildings can significantly contribute to energy savings and greenhouse gas emissions reduction, making it a critical component in the transition towards a low carbon economy.
