Evidence-based building performance services from an independent consultant
Services
I offer three main assessments: an indoor air quality assessment, an energy performance assessment and a full building performance assessment that brings them together. I also set up smart home systems. If you are buying or selling a property, see buying a home and selling a home.
-
I measure what the people in your building actually experience: CO₂, fine particles (PM1, PM2.5 and PM10), chemical fumes (TVOCs), formaldehyde, temperature and humidity, using calibrated sensors. You get a clear report showing where your building falls short of recommended levels, why, and which fixes to prioritise. Better ventilation and comfort help people feel healthier and work better.
-
I measure how your building uses energy and compare that with how it was designed to perform. By matching heating, cooling, lighting and ventilation to how the building is actually used, I help you find waste and focus spending on the measures most likely to cut your energy bills.
-
I set up smart home systems that work together rather than as separate gadgets: security, gate and garage controls, lights, geyser and aircon, air quality monitors and energy tracking, including solar and backup power. Everything runs from one app or by voice through Apple Home or Amazon Alexa, set up around how you use your home.
-
I help you improve the building’s outer shell using building science rather than rules of thumb. That covers insulation strategy, U-value calculations, glazing and ventilation options, and material selection. Each recommendation is weighed against comfort, energy savings, moisture risk and budget, so you can invest in your retrofit with confidence.
-
With certification in Passive House design, I apply Passive House principles to new builds and deep retrofits: a continuous thermal envelope, airtightness, thermal-bridge-free detailing and efficient mechanical ventilation. The goal is a building that stays comfortable all year with very low heating and cooling demand.
-
I can take your project from assessment through design to delivery. I coordinate contractors and suppliers, keep scope, cost and programme under control, and check that the building performance you paid for is the performance you actually get.
