IES Consulting can work as an integral part of the project team to help incorporate essential lean, clean, green principles and performance modelling into the entire design process in order to achieve low-energy or even zero-carbon design. The integrated and holistic assessment of a building’s thermal properties is essential in such a process. It allows the external environment and natural properties of the building to be used to the best advantage.
Our consultants can steer you through today’s maze of sustainable design strategies, technologies, industry standards and regulations by leveraging a wide range of modelling and analysis services. We can cover all aspects of energy consumption and its impact on and interrelationships with carbon footprint, thermal comfort, daylight, solar and other building performance metrics.
For the full impact of such an analysis service to be realized it should be undertaken right from the very earliest stages of design and then continue throughout the entire process to completion and beyond.
IES Consulting can advise you on when and how analysis should be used to harness its full low-energy, high-performance power, as well as give feedback on key iterations quickly and efficiently at the relevant level. BREEAM assessor and modeling services can also be incorporated.
We can help you:
- Undertake energy performance snapshots to assess impact of design decisions
- Develop building loads and impact of conservation strategies
- Develop carbon Footprint reduction strategies
- Assess passive/hybrid/renewable strategies
- Assess the impact of daylight and solar
- Incorporate bulk airflow, ventilation and indoor air quality into the equation
- Assess compliance with a range of worldwide regulations and voluntary codes
