What do we cover in Blaby?

Coordination with your retrofit assessor and retrofit coordinator
Fabric measures: external, internal and cavity wall insulation, loft and floor insulation
Ventilation upgrades to match the improved airtightness
Solar PV where it is part of the design
Handover data for lodgement and post-installation evaluation

How do we deliver it?

We do not treat a measure in isolation. If the design adds insulation and airtightness, we make sure the ventilation upgrade is in the same programme, because condensation is the most common retrofit failure.
