Consulting FAQ
How does your consultancy service work?
We start with an initial consultation to understand your specific needs and objectives. We then conduct a full assessment of your project, using energy modelling tools to analyse and forecast performance. Based on these insights, we develop a strategic plan including detailed recommendations for design improvements and technology integrations. Support is provided continuously throughout your project.
What is energy modelling and how can it benefit my project?
Energy modelling uses cutting-edge software to simulate a building's energy consumption, which helps to predict and optimise the performance of heating, cooling, lighting, and other systems. This translates to significant energy savings and enhanced comfort for your building.
How can I know if my building’s energy efficiency can be improved?
Most buildings can benefit from energy efficiency improvements. If you have any thermal comfort challenges - too cold in the winter, overheating in the summer, then improvements are needed. We start with a detailed assessment of your current energy performance to outline potential improvements.
How long does it take to start seeing results?
The time to see results can vary based on the scale of the project and the types of improvements implemented. However, many clients begin to see reductions in comfort, energy usage and costs immediately after implementing smaller-scale measures, with more significant impacts becoming visible after major upgrades and over the course of a year.
Are your low carbon solutions aligned to the latest regulations and mandates?
Yes, our solutions are generally well above current regulations standards and are continually evolving to ensure both compliance and superior solutions for you.
What certifications can you help us achieve?
We have assisted clients in achieving a variety of green certifications including Certified Passive House, Homestar, Green Star, and more. Get in touch to learn more.
