Sustainable Design Consulting for Architects

Why start with sustainability in Stages 0-3?

Integrating sustainable design early ensures flexibility and cost-effectiveness as the project progresses. Delaying sustainability consulting until after planning approval can result in design constraints, higher costs or the need for resubmission to meet energy goals.

By partnering with you from the beginning, we help guide design decisions that align with both your client’s vision and energy efficiency goals. Our proactive approach ensures a seamless, sustainable design process from start to finish.

Our core services at Stages 0-3

We offer comprehensive support to architects to optimise design for sustainability, energy efficiency and comfort, ensuring the success of low-energy projects:

• Initial Overheating Analysis
  We assess thermal stability to ensure year-round comfort without compromising design aesthetics, addressing any thermal concerns early for seamless integration.
• Building Fabric Optimisation
  Maximise insulation and energy savings while adhering to budget constraints. We help you strategically invest in materials that balance thermal comfort and project costs.
• Renewable Energy Feasibility
  Determine the most effective renewable energy solutions based on site characteristics, budget and potential subsidies. Our feasibility studies provide clarity for moving forward with the right technology.
• Embodied Carbon Analysis
  Our early-stage carbon analysis supports architects in reducing environmental impact from the start. Make material choices with confidence, aligned with RIBA 2030 climate goals.
