Delivering ultra-low energy, high-performance buildings to meet PassivHaus standards.

2D and 3D analysis to identify energy loss points, condensation and mould risks.

Ensuring that not only the whole building is working right, but also each room is comfortable and balanced.

Effect of different air tightness levels on heating and cooling loads. Give a performance number for construction contractor to achieve. Test effects of natural vs mechanical ventilation.

Ensure user comfort on touch surfaces such floors in bathrooms and rooms adjacent to unconditioned spaces.

Modelling of the building elements, user profiles and schedules to show amount of heating and cooling required for an expected thermal outcome.

Detailed analysis of the heating and cooling equipment requirements, for latent and sensible specifications at hour-by-hour intervals to give detailed, granular results. Detailed peak load analysis to help reduce demand energy charges.

Accurate hour by hour radiation studies combined with building program loads to show precise solar production and energy consumption to optimise storage specifications.

Model internal room temperatures where machinery operating temperatures are critical or cause warranty issues. Show the effect of building fabric, internal heat gains from equipment and ventilation rates have on reducing or maintaining certain temperatures in critical rooms.

Parametric shading device simulations to help balance glare reduction, cooling demand and architectural outcomes. Study the effects on internal and external blinds and fixed shading devices.

Quantify embodied carbon numbers and compare solutions between upfront carbon and operating carbon.

Test building design for different predicted temperature increases and how a building would respond and perform.

Ensure proper moisture movement between construction layers to eliminate condensation, mould and structural deterioration risks.

Focus on workplace health and safety issues arising from non-conditioned space temperatures where workers are required to perform tasks usually in specific PPE equipment. Show minimum and maximum temperatures that will occur in a space and what solutions can be achieved.
