Software
The IES software we use is approved by the UK government for undertaking Building Regulations compliance calculations. Our Accredited Engineers can provide Energy Performance Certificates and Display Energy Certificates.
Building Regulations Part L
We will check whether the proposed building has compliant building fabric U values and whether the building will overheat in the summer.
This process also allows us to assess carbon emissions and provides the design team with key sustainability and energy information at a critical time in the design development.
Building Regulation Part O
Part O of the Building Regulations focuses on mitigating the risk of overheating, ensuring that new developments are designed and constructed to provide comfortable living environments. As the UK continues to experiences rising temperatures and heatwaves, now more than ever, it is essential to address this issue.
Approved Document for Overheating (AD O) came into force in June 2022 and architects and MEP designer are encouraged to incorporate design features that minimize heat accumulation.
