Home Sustainability Assessments

Home Sustainability & Retrofit Consulting

Is your current home working against the climate?

Most existing homes in Western Australia were built before modern energy standards. If your home is difficult to heat in winter or expensive to cool in summer, a Sustainability Assessment can provide a roadmap to comfort.

Expert Diagnostic, Not Just a Checklist Leveraging my background in building science and thermal modeling, I provide a professional “health check” for your home’s performance. Rather than a generic report, I offer a targeted analysis of how your specific building operates.

What an assessment covers:

• Thermal Envelope Analysis: Analysing the thermal envelope through detailed modeling of insulation levels, wall cavities, and glazing specifications to identify and mitigate heat transfer issues.
• Passive Improvements: Practical advice on shading, ventilation, and window treatments that utilize the climate rather than fighting it.
• Strategic Retrofitting: Before you spend thousands on new air conditioning or solar panels, I help you identify the “missing links” in your home’s insulation and design that will offer the greatest return on investment.
• Decarbonisation Pathways: Guidance on transitioning away from gas and optimizing your home for future energy independence.

Whether you are planning a major renovation with an Architect or simply want to reduce your energy bills, an independent assessment ensures your investment is backed by building science.
