Our Focus

During the design and construction stages, we worked closely with the Architect to optimise building form fabric performance within design constraints and manage overheating risk. During the construction phase we liaised closely with the contractor to troubleshoot any issues which arose with regard to airtightness, thermal bridging and MVHR installation.

We undertook a detailed post-occupancy evaluation of the energy use of this development using 3 dwellings, where we monitored equipment (measuring hot water, heating, gas, power, temp, humidity, CO2, water) and a further basic consumption for the remaining 25 (gas, power, water).
