Advice
Sabin Consulting Engineers are committed to playing our part in minimizing the impact of buildings and their building services on the environment.
Pragmatic and realistic sustainability advice is a fundamental aim of our practice.
“A building can make a positive statement about energy conservation by recognizing and using to advantage the natural elements that surround it. Such a building will complement its environment, and do so in every portion and operation of the built systems”
Richard G Stein, 1977
Building Performance Thermal Modelling
In order to understand the environmental impact of a building and identify and harness the sustainable opportunities, a dynamic computer generated model can be prepared. Sabin Consulting Engineers advise Clients, Architects, and Design Teams with regard to how design decisions influence energy consumption, carbon emissions, thermal comfort, daylight, overheating studies and other building performance metrics.
Steady State and Dynamic Simulation Modelling (DSM)
We have the ability to accurately simulate the thermal performance of a building, taking due account of design, climate, and use. Low Carbon Energy Assessors can ensure that building façades are optimised and plant accurately sized to create efficient and comfortable buildings to live and work in.
Energy Performance Certificates (EPC) for Commercial Buildings / Part L SBEM calculations
By utilising accredited CIBSE Low Carbon Energy Assessors who are certified to carry out both level 4 and level 5 assessment procedures, we are able to provide 'As Designed' and 'As Built' SBEM calculations for Part L compliance and can provide EPC certificates as necessary.
