We produce energy strategies and sustainability statements and input into Environmental Impact Assessments on behalf of clients for new developments. We have provided this service to over 400 sites to date. We maintain an in-depth knowledge of local and national planning requirements, addressing these in a tailored way that meets each client’s commercial and business needs.

We provide advice and guidance to clients on how to integrate renewable energy technologies into new developments, in relation to both achieving a required energy and carbon reduction and in meeting more challenging planning targets.

We regularly provide advice and support relating to all other aspects of sustainable design and construction, supporting Environmental Impact Assessments for larger scale developments. In particular, we are able to input into both climate change and waste management assessments.

We supply Part L compliance calculations and EPC certification for new build developments using SAP and SBEM methodologies. We also carry out Dynamic Simulation Modelling for more complex structures and, as such, are able to assist teams in sustainably designing new buildings, reducing overheating risk and establishing recognised levels of energy performance.

We can complete daylight and sunlight assessments for internal and external spaces to help ensure high quality design and fully useable and habitable spaces. We increasingly provide these to support planning applications and to satisfy Development Control, and to support BREEAM assessments.

Future proofing new developments against the anticipated impacts of a changed climate is increasingly important for the built environment. We provide adaptation design modelling and advice to support more robust buildings and habitable environments for the future.

We have considerable experience in the development and design of energy focused retrofit projects for the public sector and housing associations, including property and data analysis, identification of measures, cost planning, procurement and implementation strategy. We can design and support the development of renewable energy projects from individual properties to large scale community schemes.

We are able take to a lead role in the ongoing coordination and administration of retrofit and renewables schemes, working with designers, suppliers, contractors, building owners and residents to ensure the most effective outcomes for all parties.

We have proven experience in the development of funding bids and packages for new projects and, depending on the nature of the scheme, we often work at risk in the initial stages to secure funding in order to support implementation and delivery. We take a portfolio approach to projects and have a wide knowledge of existing funding streams for this sector.
