Building Performance Modelling

We use a range of advanced computational tools to inform low energy and high-performance building design. Whether designing a new build Passivhaus scheme or deep scale retrofits we can help inform the optimum route to balance energy demands and thermal comfort. Early stage building performance modelling is key to achieving Net Zero Carbon Operation.
Embodied Carbon Calculations

Life Cycle Carbon Assessment calculates the embodied carbon in materials, construction, maintenance, replacement, and end-of-life of buildings. Quantifying embodied carbon at an early stage allows key decisions on form and materiality to be informed by carbon impacts as well as costs. Life Cycle Assessment contributes highly to BREEAM and is essential requirement for Net Zero Carbon Construction.
Sustainability Assessment

We have knowledge of a wide range of sustainability assessment methods for evaluating and certifying the holistic sustainability performance of buildings including BREEAM, WELL, Fitwel, NABERS, LEED and Living Building Challenge. We can brief clients a on the appropriate standards for their development and work closely with our designers to ensure these aspirations are delivered. We have experience in working towards the highest BREEAM ratings.
