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.
