Software Solutions for your Low Carbon Requirements
We offer a holistic service for reducing carbon footprints in the built environment. The legislative demands of EPCs are satisfied with our LiveEPC internet tool and is integrated within a low carbon design approach which involves 3D modelling of the project. The improvements to reduce carbon are quantified and developed with models that support the complex design process.
Your Portfolio = Your Assets = Your Carbon Footprint
Model your way to carbon savings for High Performance Buildings
Benefits of a 3D model:
• A clearer picture of the scenario leads to more informed decisions.
• Unlike 2D drawing processes, Building Information Modelling provides guaranteed co-ordination of data.
• Manages your building properly – performance, utilisation, financial.
• Easier analysis of building modifications with value engineering.
• Co-ordinated 2D drawing data can be produced by interrogating the model for numerous purposes such as fire strategy plans and space planning.
Solving the issues surrounding carbon reductions in the existing built environment will require a planning and design process that will enable the selection of critical decisions. Our energy analysis operates around a three dimensional virtual simulation of the facility and solutions to low carbon output can be explored from a design, business and environmental perspective.
In evaluating the carbon footprint of an existing building with a view to reducing emissions, many factors need to be discussed, assessed, and analysed. This process may highlight the need for modifications to the structure, fenestration and construction or the requirement for new and updated technology installation to promote the use of more natural light, improved insulation, natural ventilation or external shading.
Using BIM techniques, the available options can be properly appraised and the costs weighed against the benefits, resulting in an informed decision on investment. Renewable energy systems are considered as part of the solution once the optimum efficiency measures are selected. The model acts as an information hub in the collation, analysis and communication of data. It allows for the generation of reports, drawings, schedules and facilities management information. BIM supports a managed environment so that people, tools, and tasks can effectively share this information throughout the building lifecycle, thus eliminating data redundancy, repetition of entry, data loss and miscommunication.
