NATURAL BUILDING STUDIO

A POV shot at twilight on a residential London street, featuring a historic Victorian terrace of multi-story brick houses. In the bottom right corner, a hand in a dark jacket holds up a thermal imaging camera, which is focused on the house ahead. The camera's screen displays a colorful heat-map image of the building, with bright red, orange, and yellow highlighting heat escape, contrasted with cool blue areas. The warm golden light glowing from the bay windows of the actual house creates an inviting atmosphere, while the handheld camera in the foreground suggests a home energy or heat-loss survey in progress. The street, brick walls, and sidewalk are dimly lit by warm streetlights under a deep dusk sky.

HOME THERMAL SURVEYS

We carry out ‘heat loss’ thermal surveys and retrofit consultations in our local area of South East London.

What is a thermal survey?

A thermal survey reveals which parts of your building are losing heat in the cold weather. The survey is carried out by an experienced Architect and Retrofit Coordinator, who will be able to advise on how to make improvements, and where to focus your attention. The house visit takes approximately 30-60 minutes, depending on how many queries you have.

Who is it for?

These surveys are great for property owners in the local area who are looking to improve the thermal performance, and reduce the energy use of their homes or workplaces. The retrofit advice will be tailored to suit the property, and your priorities; whether it’s improved comfort, reduced energy bills, or decarbonisation.

How much does it cost?

We are running the surveys as a charitable initiative. In lieu of our standard site visit fee, we invite homeowners to make a voluntary donation directly to an innovative local educational charity, The New School.
