Local Planning

We provide full local planning services with respect to modelling energy targets to be achieved.

For London Planning, we can produce modelling that conforms to the London Plan requirements of Be Lean, Be Clean, Be Green for domestic and non domestic projects, overheating modelling using CIBSE TM52 and TM59 and Be Seen modelling to CIBSE TM54 using Apache HVAC.

Energy Strategy

We are experienced in understanding Local Planning Authorities requirements throughout the UK and disseminating those requirements into bespoke energy strategies.

Our strategies always aim to passively reduce the demand of buildings by using the 'design hierarchy', with LZCT only assessed once this has been completed.

Overheating

We work with the architectural team to understand how best to reduce the risk of buildings overheating by employing strategies such as increased thermal mass, increased airflow in rooms and development of the façades.

This approach not only allows us to assess the overheating risk but also allows us to minimise it.

Be Seen

Our modellders are skilled at using the advanced modelling engine of IES VE to be able to complete in depth CIBSE TM54 modelling to comply with the requirements of the Be Seen stage of the London Plan. Once a building is completed, our team can provide in-use services to ensure that the design intent of a building is achieved and design stage targets are met.
