A loft room that overheats in summer and loses heat in winter
A real RetrofitIQ investigation into a converted loft bedroom — using thermal imaging and targeted intrusive inspection to find why the room performs poorly across the year.
A targeted investigation — not a full whole-house survey
This case study was a focused investigation of a specific performance problem in one room. It used thermal imaging, borescope and spotlight inspection to diagnose the building fabric.
It did not include blower door testing or smoke tracing, and moisture readings were outside its brief. It's a clear example of how we investigate and interpret — a full whole-house investigation report will follow separately.
What was investigated
A converted loft bedroom that overheats in summer and loses heat in winter — and the building-fabric reasons why.
Thermal imaging
Infrared images locating heat-transfer anomalies and the repeated thermal pattern across the dormers.
Targeted intrusive inspection
Borescope and recessed-spotlight inspection verifying concealed construction and insulation continuity.
Building-physics interpretation
Findings read through insulation continuity, thermal bridging and uncontrolled air movement.
