“We have a simple mission: to protect & hand on the planet to the next generation.”  Francois Hollande

Our Energy Experts perform the following services for our clients to ensure their buildings, services are designed with sustainability is taken into consideration and at the foremost of all our designs.

Fabric Performance

Setting U-Value performance targets to achieve (where required) Part L compliance (NZEB).

Air Tightness

Setting air tightness targets in areas where TGD Part L (NZEB) will apply.

Solar Gain

Set out the performance levels that need to be achieved to comply with the maximum solar gain limits that are set out in TGD Part L of the building regulations.

Thermal Loads

Complete thermal load calculations to ensure that plant capacities are not oversized and match the requirements of the building.

Review of Plant Efficiency

Review the design and equipment schedules. Checking plant efficiency values such as thermal efficiency, Seasonal Coefficient of Performance (SCOP), Energy Efficiency Ratios (EERs), Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER), Specific Fan Power (SFP) and Heat Recovery Efficiency.

TGD Part L & NEAP Compliance 

Developing an energy  model to ensure it is in full compliance with the Sustainable Energy Authority of Irelands requirements. 

Building and Systems Handover

Ensure that the FM team are trained in all the energy saving features of the design and that the ability to track, monitor and review energy consumption values is explained so that out-of-range values can be eastly identified so that corrective actions can be taken.

LEED Services

Energy Optimisation and Modelling (ASHRAE 90.1 PRM) Minimum indoor air quality assessment (ASHRAE 62.1) Visual Comfort incl. daylight, view and glare Commissioning Agent Role CxA Lifecycle Assessments

Daylight, Sunlight and Overshadowing Analysis, Overheating & Natural Ventilation Assessment

All modeling and simulations are carried out in the IES Virtual Environment software suite version 2021.0.1.0. The following applications are utilised to help compile the results:  ApacheSim: To carry out dynamic thermal simulation.  SunCast: To determine effect of solar gains and solar shading.  FlucsDL: To carry out daylighting simulations.  MacroFlo: To carry out natural ventilation analysis.
