Energy Consultancy

As accredited energy consultants we are able to provide the following services

Commercial Energy Performance Certificates

All commercial premises require an Energy Performance Certificate or commercial properties when being that are being sold or let. A Commercial EPC comes with a separate recommendations report with advice on how to improve a building’s rating.

The now industry standardised A – G energy rating given on the certificate will reflect the intrinsic energy performance standard of the building relative to a benchmark. This rating could then be used by potential buyers or tenants to make comparisons between properties.

Part L Compliance Calculations for New Build/Extended Commercial Properties

At the design stage of a new construction a Part L Compliance Certificate needs to be completed and submitted to Building Control or Approved Inspector at the same time as your Building Control Application.

Upon completion of the construction it is the responsibility of the person carrying out the construction to provide Building Control and the owner of the building with a “pass” certificate.

If a building is being modified or extended and includes the provision or extension of fixed services such as heating, air con or ventilation then an EPC is required for Building Control and the owner of the building.

Energy Statements

Most local planning policy now requires new developments to demonstrate that 10% (or similar) of the total energy requirements are supplied via renewable or sustainable technologies. An Energy Statement is therefore a critical part of the planning process in order to achieve consent.

Part L calculations for the purposes of compliance with the Building Regulations (Part L) and split into:

Part L2A (Non-Domestic) SBEM (Design and As Built)

Part L2B (Non-Domestic – Existing and Extensions)

Building Surveying Services

BREEAM Assessments

Accredited with the NHER (National Homes Energy Rating) for RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES and Elmhurst for NON-DOMESTIC PROPERTIES.

We can guide you through the regulations in order to satisfy building regulations and/or planning conditions which, often or not, can contain a requirement for some of the predicted energy use (typically 10%) to be supplied from renewable or sustainable energy sources (ie Photo-voltaic, solar, wind turbines, heat pumps (air, ground, water).

Our services help you maximise your energy efficiency and creates reports to show you your energy consumption in detail.
