Sustainability By Design Ltd
What can we bring to your project?
Expert assistance every step of the way
RIBA 0-1 Planning
We assess early design options and maximise potential passive and low carbon design options for the site.
​
We can assess all viable options for construction and building services and renewable energy so the opportunities and limitations of the project are clear right from the outset.
​
Planning authorities, Building Regulations and green building certification schemes such as BREEAM often have confusing or even conflicting requirements. We can wade through the legislation for you and determine the most cost effective way to meet all targets.
RIBA 3-5 Design
We check initial concepts and develop detailed designs to meet all energy efficiency targets and performance requirements.
The devil is in the detail. Progressing from outline to detailed design is a key stage for any project as all too often detailed specifications do not meet the performance standards assumed at outline design. We ensure designs stay on track with attendance at design meetings, collating all design information and assessing the energy impact as the design progresses. We provide clients with regular updates to ensure the design stays on track and no opportunities are missed.
​
RIBA 5-6 Construction
Value engineering doesn't always live up to its name.
All too often design tweaks made during construction can have dire consequences for the completed building and lead to costly delays to handover and necessitate expensive retrofit measures.
​
We provide a dedicated team member responsible for making sure the implications of any deviations during construction are fully understood and quantified. No more unnecessary risk or nasty surprises at project completion.
RIBA 7 Post-completion
Want to see if your building walks the walk?
We can take your designs further by checking operational performance matches up with predicted energy performance and client expectations.
Sustainability By Design: Focusing on Energy Performance of Buildings
Sustainability By Design specialises in optimizing the energy performance of buildings. We are dedicated to working with construction companies, developers, and architects to create sustainable solutions that meet building regulations and drive environmental conservation. Our team is committed to delivering innovative and practical approaches to enhance building efficiency and reduce energy consumption.
​
Unlike other energy assessors, we offer a full support service throughout the project and take responsibility for ensuring ALL energy efficiency requirements are met. Free up your project team to focus on what they do best and take the guesswork out of compliance.
Industry experts
You'll have a dedicated specialist with 15+ years of industry experience to inform building design from start to finish. No more guesswork with how design tweaks and VE could impact building performance or Part L compliance.
​
Early engagement brings the most opportunity and all options for passive design, reducing emissions and improving building performance can be explored.
​
We offer practical solutions for energy performance in a language you can understand.
Never miss a milestone
We don't operate on a 'check and forget' basis. This approach can often lead to poorer performance outcomes and worse still, completed buildings that are no longer compliant when it comes to producing the As Built energy model.
We take ownership of the energy performance of your building, acting as an additional project team member, regularly checking in and attending design meetings to ensure no design changes made during construction are missed.
​
This leaves the rest of the project team to do what they do best, freeing up resource.

​
We guarantee success
We offer a 100% money back guarantee on our fees if there are any project delays due to energy performance issues. No more costly delays to project completion or building handover.
​
We have saved clients ££££s in avoiding project delays and coming up with cost effective solutions to energy performance issues.
