Use these questions as a starting point and check details against the property, current records and qualified local advice.
Start with the whole building
Discuss air sealing, insulation, glazing, ventilation, heating and shading as one system. A choice that improves one part of performance can affect comfort and moisture elsewhere.
Design for real use
An occasionally occupied home may need remote monitoring and a different operating plan than a year-round residence. Ask the design and mechanical team how equipment is maintained and controlled through winter.
Your next step
Request a clear performance target and have qualified designers document how it will be verified.
