Since our formation, our company’s aim has been to produce energy efficient sustainable designs minimizing or completely mitigating carbon Emissions by using innovative sustainable engineering solutions such as geothermal and solar power. Our significant expertise and experience in implementation will create minimal operational emissions.

We are able to advise substantially on building form, structure and orientation working in unison with various technologies.

We specialise in the following:

Low and Zero Carbon Technologies

Our low carbon options including geothermal, biomass, solar and wind power make our buildings eligible for Carbon Trust grants of up to £1,000,000 or up to 50% of the eligible costs. We have valuable experience in both the design processes and installation and commissioning of these systems and are able to co-ordinate closely their inclusion into a project in order to offset/mitigate CO₂ emissions.

We offer ongoing carbon management such as consumption tracking, forecasting and emissions reduction.

Energy Consumption Prediction

Achievable energy use and emission targets are set at the start of the design process, and are used as a basis for testing building design. Our extensive preliminary analyses are vital to ensuring LZCT grants become available.

Strategic Advice for Passive Building Design

Our designs strive to incorporate energy efficient means of guaranteeing the comfort of building occupants. Geothermal, wind, solar and biomass power are incorporated into passive design, maximising the potential for energy and resource conservation and passing on considerable environmental and economic benefits.

Building orientation and thermal design are optimised to ensure the seasonal and daily store and release and solar heat, and to capitalise on light that varies in intensity over time.

Life Cycle Cost Modelling

LCC economic models provide better assessment of long-term cost effectiveness of projects by considering the impact of alternatives and potential scenarios. By requiring this detailed economic justification for our decisions, we ensure the viability of our projects in the long term.

Feasibility Studies

Buildings are subjected to vigorous optional appraisal to produce a sustainable brief for an elegant, practical and fully sustainable design.

By exploring and appraising various architectural options and CO₂ targets at an early stage, we are able to best integrate our unique tailored designs with our continually expanding low and zero carbon technologies.
