Independent Building Service Engineers

Sustainable Building Services

We are independent building services engineers based in Glasgow. 

We work on low carbon and renewable energy projects.

Energy Performance Certificates

The EPC calculation is the standard method for compliance at new build stage. We are accredited for both on construction domestic EPC, existing dwellings DEA and non domestic SBEM calculations.

SAP Assessor

On Construction Energy Performance Certificates are produced for the Scottish EPC register for all new build. Let us help you with your building warrant energy compliance.

Energy Audit & Feasibility Report

Existing buildings may need professional advice on upgrading building fabric and/or implementing low carbon heating or generation technologies.

Utility Connections

New buildings typically require water, power and telecoms agreements and connections. We can provide calculations or manage the process for you.

Renewable Energy Consultants

Estimating and design for Air Source Heat Pumps, Ground Source Heat Pumps, Solar PV, Solar Thermal, Battery storage technology etc.

Overheat Analysis

As qualified dynamic energy modellers we can provide overheating analysis for your project. It is generally caused by a complex mix of factors such as solar gain, ventilation, fabric and activity levels and thus requires a detailed study to solve.

Daylight & Lighting design

An in depth day lighting study can be invaluable in the subsequent lighting design, saving cost of fittings and running cost. Maximising natural light is the best approach.

Mechanical Design

Typically we are involved in the sizing and specification of pipes, ducts, pumps and fans etc for Heating & Cooling, Hot & Cold water supplies, Ventilation and Soil & Waste systems.

Ventilation Requirements

Ventilation is important for healthy buildings and increasingly needs a study and specification at pre-build stage.

Electrical Design

Electrical design services include sizing AC and DC cables, containment requirements and connections to network including export limiting.

Plumbing Design

Piping calculations and layouts for coordination of above ground drainage services.

Project Management

You may already have several trades working on your site- we can combine plumbing, electrician and other services to help manage your build programme if you wish.

Heat Network Consultants

As CIBSE CP1 Heat Network consultants we can do feasibility and design for heat networks for district and communal heating. We have particular expertise in 5th Generation ambient loop projects.

GSHP Thermal Response Test

A key step in a multiple borehole ground source project is an onsite assessment of the conductivity and heat transfer of the ground. This allows efficient design of the borehole array and can often reduce expenditure on drilling considerably.

Air Tightness Testing

All new builds will require some kind of air tightness testing (blower door test) to assess air permeability.

Are you an Eco Fan? Concerned about the climate crisis? Let us help you negotiate the complex choices facing anyone doing a new build or retrofit project.

Combining energy, heating, ventilation, plumbing and electrical engineering services under a single deep green umbrella we provide a simple, cost effective and high performing solutions for a wide variety of green buildings.

Building services engineering has a significant impact and cost in terms of the installation, right the way through the lifetime energy consumed and the associated running and maintenance costs.

It is ever more complex and, in particular, with the rapid uptake of novel low energy and renewable technologies the market is changing all the time. There is significant benefit from employing an independent engineer who has prior experience of the solutions to deliver a building that can meet your demands without compromising the energy and carbon budget for the building.

The current predictions are that all buildings in the Scotland will need to be close to zero emissions by 2045- technically feasible but decarbonising these sectors are still massively challenging.
