We specialise in delivering precise sustainability and energy strategies tailored to projects of all scales – whether residential or non-residential, new build or refurbishment, written in accordance with the standards required by the Local Planning Authority under which you are submitting your planning application.
As accredited BREEAM AP and Assessors, we can provide RIBA Stage 1 and 2 BREEAM consultancy and associated services as part of our pre-planning process. This ensures your project strategically earns early-stage credits, and can achieve its BREEAM rating requirements.
We carry out energy assessments according to the Energy Hierarchy, calculating the impact of proposed building fabric and M&E strategies and incorporating analysis of suitable renewable technologies. We can provide comparisons of the efficiency and environmental performance of different options under review for the project, allowing you understand the impact of different approaches.
Our Circular Economy Statements are developed to support planning submissions to help clients demonstrate how projects can reduce material consumption, minimise waste and maximise the reuse and recovery of materials throughout the building lifecycle in line with circular economy principles.
Our pre-refurbishment an demolition audits identify material reuse opportunities, waste streams and embodied carbon impacts before works begin, and are produced in compliance with planning, BREEAM and/or Ska Rating assessments as required.
