IRT Surveys joins SFHA as a Sector Associate
IRT provides a range of services to the sector, primarily focused on energy services, thermographic heat loss surveys and broader asset management activities.
Headquartered in Dundee, IRT provides a range of data-led services focused on driving energy efficiency, decarbonisation, and broader asset management activities.
The requirement to decarbonise ageing housing stock, especially in affordable housing, is accelerating in the current environment given the significant increases in energy costs, and the agenda to achieve Net Zero by 2050.
IRT has developed a technology platform called ‘DREam’ which assesses the energy performance of housing portfolios and provides recommendations on the most efficient way to complete retrofits.
‘DREam’ is cloud-based and can be accessed from any web browser. It uses algorithms to impartially optimise budgets and accelerate the retrofit journey using your existing data. The platform works out the best way to carry out retrofits to save energy and gives you instant updates in relation to any available grants.
IRT also provides a range of additional services to the sector, primarily focussed on energy services, thermographic heat loss surveys and broader asset management activities.
The company is well-known in the social housing sector. DREam currently hosts over half a million social houses spanning the UK and has surveyed more than 350,000 domestic properties.
Stewart Little, Managing Director at IRT Surveys said: “We are absolutely delighted to be a Sector Associate to the SFHA.
"Our team is here and ready to support your organisation with its Net Zero journey. We will save you hours and hours in data cleaning, analysis and identifying the grants available to fund your retrofitting projects.
"The web-based DREam software is accessible anywhere with no new investment in IT. You can amend and upload data to it easily, the system scales to thousands of properties within minutes and exporting reports couldn’t be easier.
"Whatever stage of your journey you’re at, please get in touch using our website to find out how our software and survey services can benefit you.”
