Surveying an active shopping centre is logistically complex, but Building Energy Experts handled it with precision. Their report cut through the environmental variables to provide a clear distinction between maintenance quick-wins, like resealing doors, and the capital investment needed for insulation. It provided the exact technical evidence required to inform our roadmap to an EPC B rating and justify the retrofit budget.

In delivery of the Warm Homes: Local Grant programme in Shropshire, Building Energy Experts (BEE) have acted as invaluable partners to the Council. Their expertise in reviewing installer designs and liaising with our consortium of local installers has ensured the technical compliance and appropriateness of measures installed under the scheme.
Merrick Rose, Affordable Warmth & Energy Efficiency Support Officer, Shropshire Council – WH:LG Retrofit Coordination
The Council’s goal was to find a critical friend that ensures best practice and full PAS2035 compliance under schemes it delivers – BEE have brought this in spades, accompanied with a professionalism and pragmatism that has been indispensable in navigating the nuances and complexities of local authority led, domestic retrofit schemes. I would highly recommend engaging with BEE to any council or social housing provider considering an independent retrofit coordination model.
This entry provides clear evidence across multiple projects where Building Energy Experts has successfully forged strong partnerships, driving innovation and delivering outstanding outcomes.

I should like to say thank you so much to Rich and the team at Building Energy Experts for their efficiency and helpfulness in completing our commercial EPC survey in record time.
Margarita Hamilton, Walton Castle – Commercial EPC
Assessing a historic property like Walton Castle requires real expertise, and your team delivered exactly that. Not only did they complete this survey with a very quick turnaround but they went above and beyond by providing extra information and guidance which has been extremely helpful.
We are delighted with the final result and once again thank you from both myself and the team at Walton Castle.
What a great service you provided! As Self-Builders, with a great deal of red tape/bureaucracy to satisfy, you truly made this a real ‘value-add’ and reasonably priced exercise. We thought we were in reasonably good shape (having taken a lot of care and time on our build), but the checklist provided in advance of the test and the report post test, were really helpful in making improvements to the fabric of the building.

Our PAS 2035 Retrofit Design Process
Our design process is rigorously aligned with the PAS 2035 standard. Your dedicated Retrofit Designer will:
- Review the Retrofit Assessment: We begin by undertaking a thorough review of the initial Retrofit Assessment to fully understand the unique context and requirements of your property.
- Develop a Cohesive Design: Based on the assessment, we create a comprehensive Retrofit Design that integrates all required elements, including a robust moisture risk management and ventilation strategy.
- Ensure Full Compliance: We navigate the complexities of planning permission, conservation area requirements, and all relevant building regulations to ensure your project proceeds smoothly.
- Coordinate Specialist Input: Where necessary, we seamlessly coordinate with other specialists, such as structural engineers or heritage consultants, to ensure all technical aspects are addressed.
- Adopt a ‘Fabric-First’ Approach: Our designs prioritise improving the building’s fabric (walls, roof, floors, windows) to maximise energy efficiency before considering new systems, ensuring compatibility and long-term performance.
