Shaping the path to targeted energy efficiency measures and system design selection, IES’ approach follows the Lean, Clean, Green methodology:
LEAN – reducing energy consumption using good design, including making passive/hybrid strategies part of the solution;
CLEAN – applying low carbon technologies;
GREEN – leveraging renewable technologies to a higher degree due to the greatly reduced energy requirements of the building.
Performance analysis is an extremely powerful way to analyse, assess and quantify different design concepts and low carbon technologies. Integrating this early into the entire design process maximises informed multidisciplinary decision-making; facilitating high performance building design, as well as increasing productivity and cutting costs.
Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) or an Integrated Design Process (IDP) is viewed by many as the only way to build truly sustainable buildings in a time and cost effective manner. By incorporating performance analysis, teams can achieve significant energy reductions, ensure occupant comfort and facilitate integrated decisions.
IES Consulting always strives to works as an integral part of the project team to facilitate successful determination of effective sustainable design solutions.
