Energy Statements
Sustainability is more than just a buzzword—it’s essential for planning success and BREEAM performance.
Our team works hand-in-hand with planners and designers to shape energy strategies that boost sustainability credentials. From resource efficiency to climate resilience, we tailor our energy statements to support BREEAM Energy and Management credits, helping your project stand out as both compliant and climate-smart.
Part L Compliance
We make Part L compliance stress-free—and BREEAM-friendly!
Part L sets the benchmark for energy performance in buildings, and compliance is often key to achieving BREEAM Energy credits. We dig into your design, run SAP or SBEM calculations, and recommend enhancements that not only meet the regulations but also contribute toward better EPC ratings and BREEAM energy performance.
Overheating Analysis
Keeping cool isn’t just about comfort—it’s also about compliance and credits.
Our overheating assessments, using tools like CIBSE TM52 and TM59, ensure your building stays within thermal comfort limits—contributing to Hea 04 (Thermal Comfort) and Ene 01 (Reduction of energy use and carbon emissions) in BREEAM.
We assess the risks using future climate weather files and propose design tweaks that boost occupant comfort without blowing the energy budget.
Passive Design Analysis
Design smart. Use less. Win BREEAM credits doing it.
Passive design measures help reduce a building’s energy demand before any tech is added—hitting the mark for Ene 04 (Low carbon design) and Hea 04 (Thermal comfort). From orientation to glazing ratios and natural ventilation, we evaluate how your design can do more with less, and guide you to unlock the full potential of passive strategies for your project.
LZC Study (Low or Zero Carbon Technologies)
BREEAM loves clean energy—and so do we.
Our LZC Feasibility Studies explore the best renewable and low-carbon tech for your project, satisfying the requirements of Ene 04 and Pol 01 (Impact of refrigerants). We assess the viability of solar PV, heat pumps, CHP, wind, and more—so you can integrate sustainable energy systems that deliver both cost and carbon savings.
Operational Energy Modelling
Track it, tweak it, and trim it down.
Operational energy use is a big focus in BREEAM 2018 and BREEAM UK New Construction 2014 under Ene 01 and Ene 02 (Energy monitoring). We simulate actual energy use based on building occupancy and operation—not just design intent—to guide low-energy design choices. That way, your building performs as well in practice as it does on paper.
MEES (Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards)
No EPC? No let. Let’s fix that.
MEES compliance is a legal requirement, but it also aligns with BREEAM goals of improving existing building stock. We help you assess and improve energy efficiency to meet—or exceed—the EPC ‘E’ rating, supporting better outcomes for Man 02 (Life cycle cost and service life planning) and long-term energy use reductions.
