Environmentally Sustainable Design
We offer an in house specialist ESD consultancy service which is well integrated with our core mechanical, electrical and hydraulic engineering services disciplines. We believe this is the key to offer sustainable design solutions that are practical, cost effective and specifically tailored to meet project objectives and constraints.
Our sustainability consultancy service includes:
Commercial Buildings Energy Assessments (Class 2 to Class 9 Buildings)and preparation of all required formal documentation
- Building Code of Australia (BCA) Section J compliance reports (Energy Efficiency compliance) including Deemed to Satisfy (DtS) provisions method and Verification Method (JV3)
- Building Code of Australia (BCA) Part J2 Glazing compliance (Glazing Calculator) including J2.5(b) option
- Shading modeling and tuning of shading devices to achieve energy savings and Building Code of Australia (BCA) Section J compliance
- Life cycle cost analysis to highlight energy savings throughout the life cycle of the equipment proposed and the cost benefits of incorporating more sustainable options into the design of the building services
- Building fabric tuning and optimization
- Detailed and tailored building thermal modeling and analysis to predict energy use of the building
Residential Building or Part of Building Energy Assessments – NatHERS – and preparation of all required formal documentation
- Building Code of Australia (BCA) Energy Efficiency Section compliance reports (Part 3.12) including Deemed to Satisfy (DtS) provisions method, NatHERS Star Rating Method (Nationwide House Energy Rating Scheme) and Verification method (V2.6.2.2)
- NatHERS Accredited Rating Certificates and reports (mandatory Residential Building Thermal Performance documentation that should be supplied with all development and building approval applications) prepared by accredited assessor
- Advice in optimizing residential buildings design to achieve the required NatHERS Star Rating
