Objective
Advise on
measures to comply with the Building
Regulations on energy performance and obtain
a “Very Good” EcoHomes rating..
Brief
EcoConsulting
was appointed to undertake EcoHomes and SAP
energy assessments for a large 82 flat
development (shared ownership & affordable)
and to consult on the most efficient way of
obtaining a “Very Good” EcoHomes rating.
We advised on specific means to obtain the
desired rating, most importantly reducing
the glazing, to reduce heat loss, while
maintaining very high levels of daylighting
and in keeping with the architects' original
design.
As a consequence of our study, the glazed
curtain walling was reduced by 25% and the
developer changed from high carbon electric
heating to very energy efficient. Following
our recommendations, the SAP results were
dramatically improved and a total of 12
EcoHomes Energy 1 and 2 credits were
obtained.
We maintained excellent client communication
during the entirety of the 3-year project,
supporting the entire design team and
contractor from the initial concept stages
until completion. |
