We work regularly with Architects, Property Designers and Design teams to ensure their building plans are compliant with Building Regulations/Standards. Using drawings and specifications we can undertake energy efficiency calculations to determine the energy profile of a property and can provide expert advice on how it can be improved to meet the requirements.

With the introduction of stringent carbon emission targets and changes to Building Regulations/Standards, there is a much greater demand for Architects, Designers and Engineers to design new buildings that consume less energy (low carbon buildings). Although building design appears early within the building process, it has a big impact on the energy efficiency of the property once it is constructed.
Elmhurst Energy Consultancy specialises in the provision of energy calculations for building compliance and expert advice, to help bridge the gap between great design and great energy performance. The type of building determines the type of energy calculations required at design stage:

Some extension and conversion projects may require energy calculations in order to comply with Building Regulations/Standards. This is dependent on various factors including the size, amount of glazing or change to energy status that occurs.
Designing an extension? If your proposal contains large areas of glazing you will likely need SAP Calculations.
All new dwellings created as a result of a material change of use require SAP Calculations to comply with Building Regulations/Standards.
The size, amount of glazing or potential change to energy status can impact the requirements for SBEM Calculations.

Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP) is a calculation methodology used to determine the energy performance of new build dwellings.
Simplified Building Energy Modelling (SBEM) is a calculation methodology used to determine the energy performance of new buildings (non-dwellings).
