MODERN BUILDINGS PRIORITISE ENERGY EFFICIENCY, WHICH MAY LEAD TO OVERHEATING DUE TO AIRTIGHT construction.  

WE USE ADVANCED COMPUTER MODELLING TO ANALYSE ROOM TEMPERATURES, CONSIDERING FACTORS LIKE SHADING, SOLAR CONTROL, VENTILATION, AND COOLING, ENSURing COMFORTABLE INDOOR ENVIRONMENTS FOR BOTH NEW AND EXISTING Buildings.

Aligned with industry standards, we adhere to Building Regulations Part O, CIBSE TM52, CIBSE TM59, and BREEAM HEA04, ensuring sustainable and compliant design practices.

We offer a range of calculation services relating to building regulations Part L and Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs).  

With over 15 years of experience, we possess a profound understanding of approved methodologies, enabling us to assist you in meeting regulatory requirements and enhancing energy efficiency.

Our services encompass fully bespoke calculations, ensuring compliance with Building Regulations Part L, EPCs, DSM, SBEM, SAP, BREEAM ENE01, CIBSE TM54, and MEES standards.

Daylight significantly impacts productivity and health. Our calculations ensure designs receive quality daylight and sunlight access while minimising the impact on neighbouring properties. This analysis is especially beneficial for window sizing and space design.

We offer both static and dynamic daylight to suit site-specific requirements, meeting standards like Daylight Factor, Climate-Based Daylight Modelling, BR209, BREEAM HEA01, and Planning Applications.

With a transition away from fossil fuels, it has become increasingly important to provide accurate heating and cooling load calculations.  

We offer a comprehensive service providing these calculations for building services engineers.  

Via the use of 3D modelling techniques, we are able to analyse complex buildings with flexibility to alterations in the architectural design. This is a key advantage over traditional methods.

Our comparison tools assist in identifying the optimal choices for a building, considering factors like capital cost, environmental impact, running costs, fuel availability, ease of operation, market trends, and maintenance.

We delve into a variety of technologies, such as heat pumps, photovoltaic panels, solar hot water, biomass, CHP, and wind turbines, offering customised analysis.

Throughout this process, we offer insights into Low & Zero Carbon Technologies (LZC), BREEAM ENE04, and Feasibility, ensuring a comprehensive exploration of possibilities.

Energy statements have become an increasingly vital component of planning applications. There is often significant complexity due to regional variations in planning policy.

Low carbon technologies also have specific space planning requirements that need early consideration.

With years of experience, we determine the most appropriate strategy for a particular scheme and provide clear reporting to support planning applications, ensuring compliance with the London Plan and addressing the specific needs of planning applications

DISPLAY ENERGY CERTIFICATES (DECS) PROVIDE VALUABLE INSIGHTS INTO A BUILDING'S ENERGY PERFORMANCE AND EFFICIENCY. They are required for buildings that are:

• Occupied by public authorities.
• Frequently visited by members of the public.
• Have a total floor area of greater than 250m2.

Measured energy data is analysed and compared with industry established benchmarks. This process regularly identifies improvement measures with attractive paybacks.

ESOS (Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme) Assessments are vital for organisations to identify energy-saving opportunities and comply with regulations.

We offer comprehensive ESOS assessments, helping you uncover energy efficiency strategies, reduce costs, and meet compliance requirements with ease.

When lowering energy consumption to modern standards, the heat losses through seemingly minor details such as lintels or balcony connections become significant.

Neglecting these design considerations can also lead to issues with condensation and compromised occupant comfort.

We offer a comprehensive solution by performing 2D and 3D finite element analysis, considering crucial factors such as PSI Values, SAP (Standard Assessment Procedure), Passivhaus standards, and compliance with Part L regulations.

The Passivhaus standard has gained notable traction in the UK, thanks to its stringent quality control that guarantees the construction of very low-energy buildings consistently performing according to design calculations.

These structures commonly incorporate the following features:
‍
• A compact form
• Strategically positioned standard glazing
• Elevated levels of insulation
• Heat Recovery Ventilation
• Construction details that eliminate thermal bridges
‍
We provide design and modeling services to facilitate the certification process. As a Passivhaus Consultant, we leverage tools such as DesignPH and PHPP to ensure the adherence to Passivhaus standards and streamline the certification journey.
