It supports clients and design teams working on institutional, educational, commercial and larger residential buildings, combining energy modelling with practical advice on building fabric, comfort and carbon reduction.Heritage retrofit and insulation strategiesThe practice develops retrofit plans that bring together insulation, airtightness, thermal-bridge reduction and low-carbon heating. Work includes feasibility studies, fabric improvement strategies and heat decarbonisation plans, with attention to existing construction, heritage significance, moisture behaviour and practical delivery.Building physics and energy modellingServices include PHPP and DesignPH modelling, thermal-bridge calculations, WUFI moisture analysis, dynamic simulation, overheating assessments and daylight modelling. These tools help design teams compare options and understand the effects of proposed alterations on energy demand, indoor conditions and building fabric.Passivhaus, EnerPHit and whole-life carbonBeyond Carbon provides design consultancy for Passivhaus and EnerPHit projects, technical support for contractors, and independent certification services through qualified team members. Its carbon consultancy considers emissions associated with materials and construction alongside those arising during building operation. Services include whole-life carbon assessment, material comparisons and estate decarbonisation roadmaps.Heritage experienceAt Grade II* listed Frewin Hall in Oxford, Beyond Carbon acted as energy and retrofit consultant, helping develop internal woodfibre insulation and airtightness measures supported by physical testing and moisture analysis.At The Arc in Winchester, the practice contributed to a decarbonisation plan for a cultural venue incorporating a Grade II* listed building and a modern extension. Energy modelling was informed by measured fabric performance to help target appropriate improvements.The practice expanded through its merger with Delta Q in September 2026 and has bases in Bicester, London and Bristol.Contact Beyond Carbon to discuss heritage estates, complex retrofit schemes and larger building projects requiring specialist energy and carbon advice. https://conserveconnect.com/services/beyond-carbon ab233b682ec355648e7891e66c54191b Fri, 09 Oct 2026 19:25:19 +0000 Building Engineering Eco-Renovation UK is a family-run building and insulation company based in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire. It specialises in energy improvements and sympathetic renovation for period properties and listed buildings, alongside sustainable extensions and construction projects.Natural insulation and thermal improvementsThe company installs internal and external wall insulation, roof insulation and floor insulation. Its work includes wood fibre, cellulose, cork and hemp-based systems, together with cork-lime insulating plasters and renders. Materials and methods are selected to suit the existing structure, with an emphasis on compatible finishes and the moisture behaviour of traditional buildings.Specialist services include the application of insulating lime-cork plaster to uneven walls, the installation of wood-fibre insulation and the use of cellulose insulation in timber-frame construction. Eco-Renovation UK also undertakes insulation and airtightness work for low-energy and Passivhaus/EnerPHit projects.Period and listed building renovationThe company carries out cottage renovations, period property refurbishments, barn conversions and work to listed buildings. Services include lime plastering and rendering, damp investigation and associated remedial works. Sustainable extensions and timber-frame construction form part of its wider building service.Advice and project planningEco-Renovation UK offers property health checks and practical advice on insulation, damp and energy-efficiency improvements. Its refurbishment consultancy helps clients compare methods, select materials appropriate to their building and plan the sequence of works.The company states that this advisory service is supported by an in-house qualified Domestic Energy Assessor holding a Level 3 award in Energy Efficiency for Older and Traditional Buildings.Relevant project experienceIts published portfolio includes natural insulation and lime plastering in a sixteenth-century listed building, a Victorian terraced-house retrofit in Muswell Hill, cork-lime internal wall insulation in a Georgian property in Islington, and insulation works to listed cottages and historic roofs.Geographical coverageFrom its Hemel Hempstead base, Eco-Renovation UK serves North London, Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Berkshire, Gloucestershire, Surrey and West Sussex. https://conserveconnect.com/services/eco-renovation-uk a8abb4bb284b5b27aa7cb790dc20f80b Mon, 06 Jan 2025 18:35:07 +0000 Thermal Insulation Ecospheric is a sustainability and building performance consultancy based at Lymm Hall in Cheshire. It helps property owners, architects and project teams plan low-energy improvements to existing buildings, including historic properties, and develop Passivhaus and EnerPHit projects.Heritage retrofit and insulation designEcospheric develops retrofit strategies that consider insulation, airtightness, ventilation, moisture and building services together. Its work includes comparing improvement options, specifying materials, developing technical details and supporting design and construction teams. For traditional masonry, the practice also prepares repair method statements covering lime mortar selection, repointing, masonry repairs and appropriate site practice.Energy modelling and building physicsPHPP energy modelling supports decisions about heating demand, building fabric and services. WUFI moisture-risk assessments examine how heat and moisture behave within proposed construction build-ups, while THERM analysis assesses thermal bridges at junctions. Further services include overheating analysis, lifecycle carbon assessment and lifecycle costing, helping clients compare the performance and implications of different design approaches.Building services and project supportEcospheric designs heating, cooling, ventilation and water systems for low-energy buildings, including mechanical ventilation with heat recovery (MVHR). Its services also cover renewable energy strategies, technical design reviews, quality-control site visits and contractor training. Independent Passivhaus, EnerPHit and AECB CarbonLite certification services are available.Heritage project experienceProjects include Warksburn Old Church in Northumberland, a former Victorian church converted to certified EnerPHit accommodation, and Hampstead Passive House, a Victorian home in a London conservation area. Ecospheric provided Passivhaus and building-services consultancy on these projects. Its ongoing work at Grade II* listed Lymm Hall combines phased retrofit with research into building fabric, moisture and low-energy operation.Contact Ecospheric to discuss your building, the stage of your project and the technical support required. https://conserveconnect.com/services/ecospheric eaae339c4d89fc102edd9dbdb6a28915 Fri, 09 Oct 2026 17:56:51 +0000 Thermal Insulation Greengauge Building Energy Consultants is a UK-based building and engineering consultancy specializing in sustainable, low-energy design.
