Who am I?
My name is Fred Bolton, and I entered the energy business as a Domestic Energy Assessor in 2008, carrying out energy surveys on existing housing. I then qualified as a Commercial Energy Assessor but soon realised my passion lay with new houses. This laid me to complete a course to become an ‘on construction’ Energy Assessor in the New House market, and finally a course in the Air Tightness Testing of new houses. The depth of knowledge which has been accrued over the past 16 years has been invaluable. It has not only given me the insight needed to meet today’s complicated requirements for achieving Building Control compliance but also made it possible to offer impartial energy advice on what is required to construct not just a comfortable, energy efficient home, but one that can be built within the available funds and budget.
