Esh Construction has launched a brand new division amid moves to help registered housing providers boost their green credentials.
The Durham contractor has created Esh Retrofit Solutions, which will specialise in works to improve the energy efficiency of existing homes, helping to meet the growing needs of its clients as well as the wider industry. Works carried out by Esh will help firms to achieve an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) banding of C and above across its portfolio - a Government requirement for all social housing by 2030.
Retrofitting measures the division will carry out include window and door upgrades, installation of secondary glazing, internal or external wall insulation, loft, underfloor or cavity wall insulation. The company will also provide the installation of decarbonisation measures such as air source heat pumps, ground source heat pumps and solar photovoltaic panels.
