Nottingham based Julian Owen Associates have a lot of experience in helping our clients improve the energy efficiency of their homes through careful assessment and expert advice.
As energy costs are rising it is important to reduce heat loss and consumption of non-renewable energy sources such as gas and electricity. To assist with this Julian Owen Associates can carry out an energy efficiency assessment and a survey using a thermal imaging camera.
We offer:
-
- Advice on the best ways to improve the insulation of your home.
- A thermal image camera survey of the building to identify areas where there are gaps in the insulation leading to heat loss, cold spots and condensation.
- A check of the energy efficiency of your home before and after building work.
- Advice on the viable options for renewable energy including heat pumps and solar panels.

Topographical
We have worked with Julian Owen Associates Architects for over ten years. They are very competent in the whole construction process from initial planning advice to practical completion of a project on site. Their drawings and specifications are full of detail and accurate.
R Barnes
I commissioned Julian Owen Associates Architects to obtain planning permission for a 5 house-building project in Long Eaton. They obtained the planning approvals with no problems whatsoever and all the worry and stress on my part was not warranted as they dealt with the whole process on my behalf.
JMS
We recently worked with Julian Owen Associates Architects on an extension and loft conversion for our home, and the entire experience was outstanding. From the initial consultation to the completion of the project, their team demonstrated professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail. They listened to our ideas and needs, incorporating them into the design while offering expert advice and suggestions we hadn’t considered. Thank you to Julian and the team for their dedication and exceptional work.

We worked with Julian Owen recently on an extension and refurbishment project for a school in Kirkby-in-Ashfield and throughout the whole process they were excellent. They responded to any queries we had straight away and were prompt in response to any addendums to the specification or drawings.
