We spend considerable effort and time keeping up to date on new developments in the industry, and have links to educational establishments to help us develop new solutions.
-
We enjoy the creative process and endeavor to involve ourselves with the key designers as early as possible in order to guarantee the greatest impact.
-
Good communication skills are key – we use sketches and diagrams to help make concepts understandable.
-
On-Site Renewables Studies – we produce concept sheets to explain the practical implications, the options for integration, the costs and carbon savings.
-
We can advise other key professionals in the design and construction process on how to produce a more environmentally responsive building – we reach into the other disciplines to do this.
-
We undertake negotiations with the local Planning Authorities to satisfy their requirements; providing the documentation as
required.
-
We carry out daylight assessments to further drive down carbon savings, by maximising the periods when artificial lighting can be turned off.
-
We can demonstrate the benefits from alternative M&E systems, such as chilled beams, chilled ceilings etc, in terms of carbon savings with improved life cycle costs.
-
We fully consider the use of combined heat and power systems (CHP) complete the studies and testing viability with loads assessments.
-
Water conservation is often overlooked – we can study the use of rainwater or grey water recycling – often cost effective as well as protecting a valuable commodity.
-
We use the latest dynamic 3D simulation software to assess buildings requirements and as a basis of total building carbon emissions.
