What we do
In addition to developing energy strategies that assess and optimise the energy efficiency of your buildings, we prepare robust sustainability statements. These guide the project lifecycle, ensuring your commitments align with regulatory requirements and best practices.
We provide accurate predictions of a building’s operational energy consumption to guide design decisions and inform energy strategies. Our post occupancy evaluation assesses the actual performance of your buildings once occupied, providing valuable insights to inform future designs and ensure optimal efficiency.
Our expertise extends to Passivhaus principles, guiding you through the design and delivery of ultra-low energy buildings that offer exceptional comfort and minimal environmental impact.
We use dynamic thermal modelling to simulate building performance under various conditions, then conduct thermal bridging calculations to optimise design for energy efficiency, thermal comfort, and reduced carbon footprint.
We offer comprehensive Part L compliance services, including SAP and SBEM calculations, to demonstrate that your new builds and refurbishments meet stringent energy performance standards.
We provide Display Energy Certificates for public buildings, assessing operational energy use and offering actionable advice to improve energy performance and reduce carbon emissions.
As PAS 2035 assessors and coordinators, we guide full-house retrofit and refurbishment projects with a focus on carbon reduction, ensuring a quality-assured approach to energy efficiency upgrades.
We conduct comprehensive whole life cycle and life cycle costing assessments, providing a holistic view of environmental impacts and financial costs over a building’s entire lifespan.
