Energy Performance Certificates
Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) compare the efficiency of different premises and are required for any building being constructed, rented or sold, and (sometimes) following refurbishment. The energy efficiency of a build is determined by analysing how it is constructed, insulated, services and the type of fuel being used. An EPC is produced which rates the building’s efficiency from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). Only an Accredited Energy Assessor can administer an EPC.
Sustainable Energy
Sustainable energy is energy supplied to meet present needs that does not compromise the ability of future generations to meet their requirements. Sustainable energy therefore relies on the use of renewable energy sources such as hydroelectricity, solar energy, geothermal energy or wind energy, as well as ensuring the efficient use of this energy.
Dynamic Thermal Modelling
Dynamic thermal modelling (DSMs) are advanced mathematical models which simulate the Thermal Environment of a Building. DSMs capture the heat transfer process into and through the building, as well as it's Thermal Capacity. They also consider real Site Weather Data, detailed 3D building geometry and layout, along with building fabric information and HVAC to create an accurate picture of a buildings total thermal performance.
