Whole House Energy Efficiency Report
At Dartmoor Energy, we understand the complexity of navigating home energy improvements. Our Whole House Energy Efficiency Report (WHEER) is designed to consolidate the often confusing world of retrofit and support homeowners across Devon, Cornwall, and the South West in finding the best way to make their homes more energy-efficient. With an in-depth, personalised analysis, our report gives you all the information needed to make informed decisions about your property’s energy future.
​
What is the Whole House Energy Efficiency Report?
A Whole House Energy Efficiency Report is similar to a Home Buyers Report. The key difference is that is provides you with detailed, quantified and actionable data, on ways in which you can make your home more energy efficient.
Our Whole House Energy Efficiency Report takes a holistic view of your home, providing a thorough analysis of energy performance and heat loss across various elements of your property. This report is tailored to your specific home and lifestyle, helping you understand which energy-saving measures will have the most significant impact.
Whether you’re planning to improve insulation, upgrade windows, install a heat pump, or optimise your ventilation system to comply with PAS2035, our report covers every aspect of your property’s energy use. We’ve conducted more than 100 reports, leading to the successful retrofit of numerous properties.
​
Key Components of the Report
Our expert surveyors assess your property in great detail, focusing on the following areas:
​
1. Heat Loss Calculation
We begin with a full heat loss survey, where our specialist measures the construction of your home, including building materials, insulation levels, and room dimensions. This helps identify the U-values and R-values of your property, ensuring accurate heat loss calculations. We assess every room’s:
-
External wall areas
-
Floor and roof areas
-
Window and door sizes
-
Radiators and emitters
This information provides a clear picture of your home’s total heat demand, pinpointing areas where energy loss is greatest.
​
2. Insulation Recommendations
Using the heat loss data, we recommend appropriate insulation for walls, floors, and roofs. Our recommendations are tailored to your property’s specific construction, ensuring the use of the right materials and installation methods. We also provide data on potential heat loss reductions, cost savings, and estimated installation costs for each recommended measure.
​
3. Window and Door Recommendations
Using the heat loss data, we can quantify the heat loss and financial benefit of upgrading windows to double and/or triple glazed units.
​
4. Ventilation and Heat Recovery Systems
In line with PAS2035 requirements, our experts review your current ventilation system and make recommendations for improving air quality and balancing ventilation with air tightness. This ensures compliance with Part F of Building Regulations and helps you avoid issues such as condensation or damp.
​
5. Heat Pump Design
Based on your property’s heat loss data, we will design a heat pump system suited to your home, including radiators or underfloor heating specification. We provide an estimate of installation costs, potential savings, and carbon emissions reductions over time. All estimates will be compared against the properties current heating system.
​
6. Solar PV and Battery Storage
Our report also includes a full Solar PV design if you're interested in generating renewable energy. We assess the potential for solar panel installation on your roof, estimate energy generation, and outline costs. If requested, we can also design a battery storage system to complement your solar PV installation, ensuring you maximise energy savings.
​
7. Damp and Structural Inspection
We perform a basic damp inspection and assess any visible structural deterioration, offering recommendations for repairs and improvements to keep your home safe and comfortable.
​
8. Electric Vehicle (EV) Charger Installation
For homeowners looking to embrace electric vehicle technology, we provide information on the potential for EV charger installation at your property, helping you plan for future energy demands.
​
9. Consultation
After you have received your report, our expert surveyor will invite you to a video consultation to discuss the findings and recommendations. We will be able to answer any questions you have and elaborate on any parts of the report you would like more information on. After this, we will assist in create a short term and medium term plan for the property. If you choose to proceed with any of the measures, we can connect you with trusted installers from our network and provide ongoing support through one of our experienced retrofit coordinators.
