Which projects benefit most from VURB?

VURB is ideal for high-end, custom or complex homes where standard DTS solutions underperform or inflate costs.

Short answer

Projects with large glazing areas, unusual orientation, thermal mass strategies or multi-zone designs benefit most from VURB.

Full answer

Unique, architecturally expressive buildings including luxury homes, passive solar designs, extensions retaining existing fabric and high ceiling homes often struggle with prescriptive paths. VURB allows energy compliance while preserving design intent.

Why this matters

Using VURB unlocks creative freedom, compliance assurance and potentially lower energy use. All aligning with your architectural goals.
