Technical Design Advice

 

Using static and dynamic building modelling software, we can advise clients and other building professionals how to make adjustments to designs to ensure building regulation compliance and to reduce fuel consumption. The energy saving techniques employed may be:

 

. Passive solar design

. Active solar design

. Renewable energy generation

. Low energy cooling

. Natural ventilation

. Natural lighting management

. Resource management

. Rainwater harvesting

 

The example illustrated shows how a simple office building could be modified to reduce reliance on mechanical ventilation plant and air conditioning, using passive stack ventilation
