Renewables are now part of any architectural brief, Retherm is best placed to bridge the gap between creative concept, client aspirations and the nuts and bolts world of M&E specifications.

Our competence in green matters, combined with our skill and experience can really aid the design process. Specifying renewable elements can be extremely complex, as the technologies are somewhat different in their requirements.

When combined with lifestyle and or building use the choice of renewable technology can dramatically affect the final solution. For instance a district heating configuration can be a far more effective than the traditional boiler per property solution.

To be effective Retherm like to be involved in all matters relating to the design; from initial consultation, through to site visit and early specification.

Retherm use heat loss and SAP calculations to ensure the thermal systems are sized correctly to the building. Failure to carry out these calculations can result in unsuitable technology giving an unsatisfactory outcome.

Solar panels also require careful placement and specification as there are many designs. Some even enhance kerb appeal by being integrated into the roof structure.

Our design team use manufacturer's software and SAP standards to provide the right solution; often by integrating more than one renewable technology.

The opportunities exist to design beautiful, energy efficient and environmentally friendly residences and workplaces. Demonstrating our human ability to adapt to and peacefully live within the ecology of the natural world.

Retherm believe in the right solution for the right building.
