Is your property cold, draughty and expensive to heat?
Investing in a home energy audit or assessment will help you establish the best way to improve the comfort and energy performance of your property.
CLPM’s energy efficiency consultants can help you understand your options. We can explain which improvements will have the most impact and how best to brief your build team. With our help you can take the right steps to create a warmer, more environmentally friendly building.
We will start by talking with you to understand your concerns and what specific issues you would like to address.
Different clients live in or use their properties in very different ways. We’ll take the time to understand your individual needs and match our recommendations with your own personal situation.
The results of this energy audit will be discussed with you, and we will also give you a written report.
“The service was very helpful and friendly”

Once we have greater understanding of your situation, we will then carry out a detailed energy review of your home or premises. This will involve looking at the precise way your property is constructed.
We will assess the walls, floors and roof structures as well as your windows and doors. Our energy consultants will look at your property’s insulation levels, any areas where there might be issues with draughts and your building’s general state of repair.
The orientation and location of your property will also have an impact on its energy usage, as wells as its heating, hot water and lighting arrangements. We’ll make a full assessment of your home and use all of this information to make calculations on the current U values and performance of your building’s structure and systems.
We take a scientific, fabric-first approach – using energy modelling tools to help us calculate the effect investing in different levels of insulation or window specifications will have on your property’s energy performance.
Your energy audit report will be written in a clear, easy to understand way and will explain exactly how you can make changes to improve the energy efficiency of your property’s fabric and infrastructure.
If you’re planning to refurbish or make other improvements to your home, our recommendations can be written so that they are integrated into your plans. Should you need ongoing help and support to implement our recommendations our energy consultants can help brief and organise your build team too.
CLPM is unique. Unlike many other energy consultants, we are primarily focussed on helping you improve the fabric of your building. And as we also have expertise in Quantity Surveying, heating and building project management, should your require it, we can continue to support you at every stage of your project.
