RDH was engaged to lead the retrofit strategy and technical analysis for four representative sites: Pendrellis, Forte, Manor House, and Viscount Villa.
The buildings, constructed between the 1950s and 1980s, featured varied enclosure systems, mechanical configurations, and occupancy patterns. RDH, working with a team of subconsultants, developed tailored retrofit pathways for each, addressing emissions reductions, energy performance, resident comfort, and long term durability.
Solutions included high performance enclosure upgrades, gas heat pumps, ventilation improvements, cooling or cooling ready design, and renewable energy integration. All strategies were supported by building specific energy and carbon modeling and designed to minimize disruption in occupied buildings.
