Be Seen
The London Plan SI2 added the 'Be Seen' element - a new requirement for all major developments to monitor and report on their operational energy bridging the performance gap. IES Consulting can provide assistance throughout the three stages of the 'Be Seen' level and the RIBA stages from the detailed design into the handover and in-use.
Planning
- Revise the Part L model to incorporate areas where the buildings energy is not detailed under Part L via a detailed enhanced system based energy model.
- Perform detailed simulation on your HVAC plant and controls, providing greater insight into your building's likely energy performance, providing necessary results for TM54 and NABERS analysis.
- Undertake TM54 anlaysis to obtain a more accurate and detailed prediction of your energy use to identify areas where your building is not performing as predicted, accounting for regulated and unregulated energy use.
- Undertake NABERS Design for Performance assessment for office buildings.
- Incorporate virtual energy sub-meters that reflect the metering configuration of the real building.
As-Built
- Provide an update of estimated performance indicators in greater detail
- Confirm metering configuration is correctly calibrated
- Report on gas, electricity, fuel, heating and cooling consumption or 'be seen' documentation
- Produce a draft DEC certificate and predict energy consumption based on CIBSE TM54 for 'be seen' documentation
- Provide relevant outputs for Reportable Units for NABERS assessments for 'be seen' documentation
- Report on energy storage and renewable energy where applicable
- Create a Digital Twin of your building as it moves into the operation stage
In-Use
- Using our iSCAN technology our team can continually monitor your building's operational efficiency over a five year period and identify any areas where it is not performing as it should and provide solutions for mitigation where necessary in the 'be seen' documentation
- Provide inputs for all Reportable Unites for the 'be seen' documentation
- Produce official DEC for the whole building or NABERS certification for office buildings
