We will support you throughout the planning, design and construction process with trusted technical services, straight forward advice and practical solutions.

You can rest assured that whatever your project entails, with our vast experience we will give you the confidence that your project will meet energy efficiency targets, and help your property meet planning and building control requirements.

 

Our Services

We specialize in producing Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs), SAP calculations, SBEM calculations, U-Value assessments, and Water Efficiency calculations. Having a comprehensive knowledge of: Part L1A (New Build), Part L1B (Extension or Conversion), Part L2, Part F, Part O, and Part S of the building regulations.

 

SAP calculations for: New Builds, conversion, and Extensions

SAP calculations are all about quantifying two crucial factors: the Dwelling Emission Rate (DER) and the Dwelling Fabric Energy Efficiency (DFEE). These numbers lay the groundwork for:

In England, the DER and DFEE values must undercut the TER and TFEE calculations. In Wales and Scotland, the focus is primarily on DER measurements.

If you’re planning to sell or rent your property, completing SAP calculations opens the door to generating an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC). This certificate is a legal requirement for all new builds.

 

SBEM Calculations

We will work with you on your commercial project from design stage all the way through to completion, we strive to ensure that all assessments are completed to achieve compliance as well as providing cost effective and feasible solutions to ensure the smooth delivery of your project.

 

U-Value Calculations

The U-Value of an element depends on the fabric contained within it. For example, with a cavity wall, this would include the plaster, plasterboard, blockwork, insulation, cavity and brickwork. U-Value calculations measure the heat loss through elements of a building’s fabric, and are essential for enhancing energy efficiency, ensuring comfort, and meeting building regulations. Whether you’re designing new buildings or retrofitting existing ones, these calculations help optimize energy use and reduce costs.

 

Water Calculations 

A Water calculation is a crucial aspect for designing sustainable and efficient water systems in new builds. These calculations accurately estimate the water demand of a dwelling, optimizing water usage, and complying with regulatory requirements. This helps builders to significantly reduce water wastage and promote responsible water management practices.
