INTEGRATED AND CONNECTED EXPERTISE
SAP
SAP calculations, are a methodology used to assess and rate the energy and environmental performance of residential dwellings. They are primarily associated with the assessment of new and existing homes for compliance with building regulations and energy efficiency standards. SAP calculations are an integral part of the UK's efforts to reduce carbon emissions and improve energy efficiency in the construction industry.
Overall, they play a crucial role in promoting energy-efficient and environmentally friendly residential construction. They help both homeowners and the construction industry understand the energy performance of homes, make improvements where necessary, and reduce the carbon footprint associated with residential buildings.
SBEM
SBEM, is a calculation methodology used to assess and demonstrate the energy performance of non-domestic buildings. It is an essential tool for compliance with energy efficiency regulations, such as Part L of the UK Building Regulations.
SBEM calculations help determine whether a commercial or non-domestic building meets the energy performance requirements set by the government. They play a vital role in promoting energy efficiency and sustainability in non-domestic buildings in the UK. They help ensure that new construction and major renovations meet energy performance standards and reduce carbon emissions, contributing to the broader environmental and energy-saving goals.
BREEAM
BREEAM, which stands for Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method, is a widely recognized and widely used environmental assessment and certification system for the construction and operation of buildings.
BREEAM was first developed in the United Kingdom by the Building Research Establishment (BRE) in 1990 and has since gained global recognition as the benchmark for sustainability in the built environment. BREEAM is designed to assess the environmental performance of buildings and provide a framework for improving their sustainability.
BUILDING PHYSICS
We specialize in predictive assessments of buildings' environmental performance, applying a deep understanding of physics to optimize internal environments. From regulating temperature and humidity to managing airflow, daylight, and air quality, we focus on designing low-carbon, healthy, and high-performing buildings.
With a commitment to sustainability and resilience, our insights promote passive and low-energy solutions that prioritize comfort for occupants while minimizing environmental impact.
