Q

What improvements can reduce a building’s energy use?

A
Common energy-efficiency improvements include insulation upgrades, draught reduction, replacement windows and doors, LED lighting, improved heating controls, pipework insulation and ventilation improvements. Fabric-first measures are often important because they reduce heat loss before major changes are made to heating systems.

RS Specialist Contractors can deliver the construction and refurbishment elements of these upgrades, including associated repairs and finishing works. Improving several connected elements together can provide better results than isolated changes, particularly where poor building fabric, moisture risks or outdated services affect performance.
