Independent retrofit assessments to inform energy efficiency, building performance, and compliant upgrade strategies.
MES Building Solutions provide professional retrofit assessments to support the improvement of existing buildings. Our assessments help clients understand how buildings currently perform, identify appropriate retrofit opportunities, and manage technical risks before measures are implemented.
Retrofit assessments form a critical foundation for successful energy efficiency upgrades. They consider building fabric, condition, occupancy, ventilation, and overheating risk, ensuring proposed measures are suitable, coordinated, and proportionate. Our advice supports both individual projects and wider retrofit programmes, informing early decision-making and helping avoid unintended consequences.
Our work also integrates seamlessly with PAS 2035, Building Regulations, funding requirements, and wider planning and design considerations.
