Retrofitting an old house to raise its Energy Performance can be an expensive undertaking, made more so because of the individual nature of each project.


One solution to this that we have been pursuing is the ‘ecoPod’, where we try to apply a formula, in the form of an additional room, which contains as much new technology as possible all within one contained space.


The advantage of this is that a full refurbishment can be very invasive and expensive, and for that reason may never happen. A well insulated ‘solar extension’ can be used to collect and store heat which can then contribute to the main heating system, whilst creating valuable extra space and adding to the property’s value.


This is a typical conversion of a detached side garage into a self contained ‘granny annex’ which will take less energy to heat than one room of the original house.
