LOW ENERGY DESIGNfor retrofit & new builds
ColdProof provides a full suite of services ranging from design to project management to help you achieve a whole house retrofit. Whether you are planning to do the work in phases or all at once, we can guide you through the process. We help clients achieve the greenest most comfortable homes in line with the UK’s national carbon reduction targets. This means aiming for at least the AECB Retrofit Standard and, where possible, achieving EnerPHit certification, which is the Passivhaus retrofit standard.
