What does "No Upgrade" mean when referring to the potential performance of windows etc in BER

1aido1 · 2024-03-28 14:34:41

I'm viewing the BER report of a house and I don't understand why the assessor has marked the windows, walls, roof etc as No Upgrade. I'm assuming that upgrades can always be made and will be effective? Can anyone enlighten me please.

The assessor has not proposed any upgrade to the windows on the advisory report. They have only outlined proposed upgrades to the space and water heating and they will theoretically bring the house to a C3 rating. It would make more sense to outline improvements to the fabric (roofs, walls, windows, doors) before recommending upgrades to heating system. Note this is just an advisory report but I would recommend a fabric first approach to your dwelling.
