Retrofit

The challenge to meet a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 (80 to 95 per cent below 1990 levels) has put considerable focus on the construction industry especially in Ireland where the government has deemed ’buildings represent the biggest single factor for potential energy savings’.

Retrofit is regarded as the most immediate, pressing and cost effective mechanism to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions in the sector.

Retrofit, the introduction of new materials, products and technologies into an existing building to reduce the energy needed to occupy that building is regarded as the most immediate, pressing and cost effective mechanism to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions in the sector.

HR Plastering have considerable experience in this sector. We are experts at working on a ‘whole-house’ approach also known as a ‘deep energy retrofit’ where a number of different service areas combine to produce a whole-building analysis and construction process. This approach has significant energy cost saving sometimes more than 50% reduction than those of simpler energy retrofits.

Our attention to detail and consideration of all fabric elements offer a comprehensive approach; with particular attention to insulation continuity including, thermal bridges and airtightness at critical junctions, and is complimented by our extensive product knowledge, underpinned by a full grasp of current technologies and industry practices. Combined with a faultless standard of work and a strength to operate collaboratively with highly effective communication, you can rely on us to ensure your next retrofit project goes smoothly.
