Clean Energy Consultancy assist individuals and organisations who are considering the development of a new building. Those clients wishing to reduce their new build project energy usage and carbon footprint begin the design process with these specific project objectives, their design team and a blank canvas. It is at this very early stage of the design process that the decisions are often taken that will determine the carbon footprint and operating costs of the building. It is therefore important that the expertise of Clean Energy Consultancy is utilised during the early stages of the design process to ensure the clients energy and carbon footprint objectives are prioritised. We will work closely with the client and their design team to ensure the project design and energy and carbon saving opportunities are in complete synergy to meet the client brief.   

 

Residential and Commercial Buildings

Client’s architectural plans for new build projects are evaluated in terms of the site, the buildings orientation, construction materials, the building envelope thermal performance and the buildings annual total energy demand and operating costs.

 

A detailed energy review is undertaken based upon the client’s budget and project architectural plans to compare the energy performance of the construction options that can meet the client’s budget. This process enables the client to determine the ultimate level of building thermal performance that meets the client’s capital cost budget whilst also informing the client of the annual operating costs and carbon emissions the proposed building will achieve.
