2023 IN
60 SECONDS!
It's been a busy year... how is it August 2023 already?
This year whilst on secondment to a Housing Association part time, it has still been a great year so far for Claire-Louise Consultancy, we have been carrying out an interesting array instructions from Estate Agents, Letting Agents and private Landlords also.
Early in the year we worked with a Landlord to complete over 20 energy consultancy reports on the portfolio currently below C. We looked at how each property's energy performs across the portfolio, from pre-1900 conversions to terraced houses and detached retrofitted properties. We then analysed all the data and provided advice how best to increase the efficiency outside of the standard internal / external wall insulation recommendation. This enabled 75% of the portfolio to increase their score easily to above a C, and we will continue to work with the landlord and ECO4 scheme to understand what grants may be available to help achieve further energy efficiency in the form of fuel conversions, and solar panel installations.
If this is of interest to you, get in touch and book your energy consultancy appointment!

WHAT DO OUR CLIENTS SAY?
"Claire has recently completed our mid-term inspections. The reports and the medium of using them shows how important these are.
