BUILDING PERFORMANCE & DECARBONISATION
Understand performance.
Improve the design.
We use IESVE dynamic thermal modelling and engineering assessment to help clients understand building loads, occupant comfort and the implications of different servicing strategies.
Discuss your requirementsDynamic thermal modelling
A model is only as useful as its inputs. We review geometry, construction, occupancy, internal gains and operating schedules, then use the results to inform the engineering design.
- Heating and cooling load calculations
- Assessment of thermal comfort and overheating risk
- Comparison of ventilation and servicing options
- Design assumptions and results presented for review
Heat pump feasibility and decarbonisation
Replacing existing heating plant requires more than selecting a new heat source. We consider system temperatures, building demand, distribution, controls and the practical constraints of installation.
- Existing plant and system review
- Heat pump suitability and distribution temperatures
- Plant space, access and electrical supply interfaces
- Comparison of options and further survey requirements
A clear basis for decisions
We agree the assessment purpose, scope and reporting requirements at the outset. Findings explain the assumptions, limitations and further information needed so the project team can act on the results.
- Support for new build and refurbishment design
- Energy and operational performance studies
- Technical reports and option comparisons
- Coordination with the wider design team
