Decarbonisation Solutions for Care Homes & Sheltered Schemes
Retrofit Decarbonisation for Care Homes
We help care home providers reduce energy costs, improve resident comfort, and meet sustainability targets through specialist retrofit decarbonisation solutions designed specifically for occupied healthcare environments.
Our approach combines technical expertise, regulatory understanding, and sensitivity to the needs of vulnerable residents — delivering upgrades with minimal disruption to daily care.
Why Decarbonisation Matters for Care Homes
Care homes are among the most energy-intensive buildings in the UK. Heating, hot water, ventilation, and 24-hour occupancy drive high carbon emissions and operating costs.
Decarbonisation delivers:
- Lower energy bills and long-term cost stability
- Improved indoor comfort and air quality
Compliance with evolving environmental regulations - Future-proofed buildings fit for net-zero targets
End-to-end Retrofit Services
- End-to-end retrofit delivery: From initial assessment through installation to monitoring and maintenance
- Energy & building assessments: Audits, fabric condition reviews, EPC improvement planning.
- Fabric improvements: Insulation upgrades, high-performance windows and doors, air-tightness measures, and moisture control to reduce heat loss and improve comfort
- Low-carbon heating & hot water: Heat pumps, hybrid systems, low-temperature upgrades, smart controls, and efficient hot water solutions
- Ventilation & indoor air quality: MVHR systems, demand-controlled ventilation, overheating mitigation, and healthcare-compliant air quality solutions
- Renewable energy integration: Solar PV, battery storage, energy management systems, and grid optimisation to generate and manage clean energy onsite
