Certified Efficiency for Existing Homes.

Upgrade Without Compromise. Retrofitting doesn’t have to mean cutting corners. At AT-ECO, we help homeowners, housing developers, and architects bring older buildings up to future-ready energy standards using products that support EnerPHit certification — the Passive House standard for retrofits.

EnerPHit Retrofitted Home with New Windows

What Is EnerPHit?

EnerPHit is the retrofit version of the Passive House standard, developed by the Passive House Institute. It provides a performance-based framework to dramatically improve energy efficiency in existing buildings while maintaining comfort and indoor air quality.

EnerPHit is ideal for:

  • Period or conservation-area homes where full Passive House isn’t feasible
  • Projects where phased refurbishment is needed
  • Deep retrofits seeking long-term value, comfort, and energy savings

Benefits of EnerPHit Retrofitting

  • Significant Energy Reduction: Up to 80% lower heating demand
  • Enhanced Comfort: Eliminate cold spots, draughts, and overheating
  • Better Indoor Air Quality: MVHR systems improve health and ventilation
  • Increased Property Value: More desirable to eco-conscious buyers
  • Sustainable Refurbishment: Extend building life with low-carbon upgrades

EnerPHit Performance Requirements

EnerPHit certification can be achieved via:

  • Component Method – Demonstrates performance via individual elements (windows, roof, walls)
  • Demand Method – Whole-building targets for energy use
Metric Requirement (Typical)
Space Heating Demand ≤ 25 kWh/m²/year
Airtightness ≤ 1.0 air changes/hour @50Pa
Component U-Values ≤ 0.85 W/m²K (windows/doors)

Planning an EnerPHit Retrofit

  • Assess existing building fabric and orientation
  • Model improvement options using PHPP
  • Upgrade the building envelope: walls, roof, floors, and windows
  • Choose windows and doors that support airtightness and low U-values
  • Integrate MVHR and renewable systems
  • Ensure installation is by experienced, certified teams

Glossary of Terms

  • EnerPHit – A performance standard for energy-efficient retrofits by the Passive House Institute
  • MVHR – Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery
  • U-Value – Measures heat loss through windows and doors (lower = better)
  • I-tec – Internorm's integrated insulation and glazing technology
  • Airtightness – Reduction of uncontrolled air leakage, measured in air changes per hour
