Overheating

Our team produce overheating assessments for projects using a range of different guidance such as Building Regulations, BB101, CIBSE TM52 and CIBSE TM59. We are able to interpret the results from these assessments and make suggestions to the design team as to how to minimise the overheating risks.

When modelling buildings, we always look to the future. There is little point in designing a building to 2020 weather files as we need to ensure a building remains comfortable for its lifetime. That is why at KJ Tait, we also assess buildings using 2050 and 2080 weather files as standard to understand the risks of overheating in future and to identify methods now to reduce that risk.
