Home comfort & energy assessments
Make sense of
how your
home feels.
We look at your home’s construction, heating and ventilation alongside the rooms that feel uncomfortable. You receive the findings and options for planning improvements.
What an assessment coversThe comfort notebook
Start with a room.
Look for the pattern.
Choose a room and a seasonal context to see useful observations you can bring to an assessment.
The living room / comfort in everyday use
Seasonal context
Notice where and when it feels different.
Note which seating places feel different, the time of day and how the heating is usually being used.
- Which part of the room is affected?
- Is the pattern consistent or occasional?
- What is different about the room’s use?
A home assessment
The building and
the way you live in it.
We review the existing home, its accessible features and the concerns you have described. The assessment connects those observations to the options that need consideration.
Our assessment approachThe building fabric
The roof, walls
and windows
belong together.
We look at the accessible building fabric and available information about it, including the parts that separate inside from outside.
Understand the building fabric
Heating & ventilation
Understand the systems
before planning a change.
We review the existing heating, controls and ventilation arrangements as part of the agreed assessment scope, including how they are used.
Systems within the assessmentYour assessment record
A report you
can work through.
The record brings observations, findings, options and next steps together. We explain the assumptions and questions that still need resolution.

Options & next steps
Work to consider and the decisions it needs.
Upgrade planning
Decide what belongs
in the next phase.
We help organize the options around your priorities, the building and the other work planned for it.
Plan the next stepsWhat matters
in your home?
Everyday comfort
The rooms, times and conditions you want to understand better.
The work ahead
A renovation, equipment change or improvement you are already considering.
A practical sequence
How potential changes relate to one another and the wider project.
Before we
get started.
Do I need to know what is causing the issue?
No. Describe what you notice, the room and when it happens. The assessment reviews the building and the available information.
Can we plan improvements in stages?
Yes. We can review the relationship between potential changes and discuss a practical sequence within the planning scope.
Does the notebook calculate savings?
No. It helps you describe what you notice at home. Decisions about improvements need the assessment findings and an agreed scope of work.

you’ve noticed.
