Energy Design Services
- Energy Performance Modelling
Using tools like SAP (Standard Assessment Procedure) and SBEM (Simplified Building Energy Model) to assess a building’s energy performance and calculate metrics such as:
- Target Emission Rate (TER).
- Dwelling Emission Rate (DER).
- Primary Energy Use.
Sustainability and Energy Statements
Preparing documentation to support planning applications, demonstrating how developments meet sustainability objectives and comply with local and national regulations.
Building Fabric Design
Advising on insulation, thermal bridging, U-values, and other elements of the building envelope to maximize energy efficiency.
Renewable Energy Integration
Assessing the feasibility and designing systems for renewable energy technologies, such as:
-
- Solar PV panels.
- Heat pumps.
- Solar thermal systems.
- Wind turbines.
Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) Systems
Designing and optimizing heating, cooling, ventilation, and lighting systems for energy efficiency.
Energy Strategy Development
Creating long-term plans to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions, tailored to specific projects or portfolios of buildings.
Lifecycle Carbon Assessment
Analyzing the embodied and operational carbon emissions over the lifecycle of a building.
Compliance with Building Regulations
Ensuring developments meet standards such as:
-
- Part L (Conservation of Fuel and Power): Focusing on energy efficiency and carbon reduction.
-
- Part O (Overheating): Addressing thermal comfort.
Air Permeability Testing
-
- Evaluating and improving the airtightness of buildings to reduce energy loss through uncontrolled ventilation.
Daylighting and Passive Design
-
- Incorporating natural light and passive strategies (e.g., natural ventilation, shading) to reduce energy demand.
Post-Occupancy Evaluation
-
- Measuring and verifying a building’s actual energy performance after construction and recommending adjustments to meet targets.
