THE RETROFITTING METHOD
At Retrofitt, we are proud to be the pioneers in Belgium on the path to energy renovation.
Thanks to our innovative approach, we transform existing buildings into zero-energy homes, quickly and sustainably.
A revolutionary renovation: Retrofitting
The retrofitting or retrofit method revolutionizes energy renovation by enveloping existing buildings with high-performance facades and roofs, manufactured offsite. By applying the Energiesprong method, each renovated housing unit becomes nearly energy neutral, covering its needs for heating, hot water, and electricity.
The 4 pillars of effective energy renovation
- Prefabricated facades: integrating thermal insulation, air tightness, exterior cladding, windows, and doors for a complete renovation.
- Optimized roofs: with advanced insulation and durable covering, ensuring maximum energy performance.
- Improved indoor comfort: stable temperature year-round, reduction of noise disturbances, and optimized air quality.
- Reduced environmental impact: sustainable materials and low carbon footprint production for a more responsible future.
The 9 advantages of the retrofitting method
The Retrofitting method or energy renovation used by Retrofitt offers numerous advantages, both in terms of energy, environmental, and economic aspects.
Here’s why this approach is revolutionary:
-
Zero energy homes Each renovated building produces all the energy needed for heating, hot water and electricity. -
High performance insulation Thermal and acoustic -
Reduced consumption and energy bills -
Factory production (offsite) The elements (walls and roofs) are manufactured upstream, which significantly reduces the time of work on site. -
Healthier indoor air Controlled tightness and better ventilation for optimal air quality. -
Standardisation and precision An industrialized process that guarantees optimal quality and minimized errors. -
Positive environmental impact Direct contribution to the EU’s carbon neutral climate objectives. -
Reduced carbon footprint With eco-friendly materials and off-site method -
Infrastructure modernisation and heritage development.
The retrofitting in 4 steps for a zero-energy home
-
1
Preliminary Analysis
We assess the current energy consumption of the building and its potential for improvement. -
2
Custom Design
We digitally model the elements tailored to the existing structure. -
3
Offsite Production
Our panels are manufactured in the factory, ensuring optimal quality and reduced timelines. -
4
Fast Delivery and Installation with You and Our Partners
Our facades and roofs are installed in record time, minimizing the impact on the occupants.
