Technical consultancy

Our technical consultancy work helps our clients to reduce their energy use, improve their efficiency, and choose appropriate energy technologies. For example, we:

• Deliver feasibility studies especially for biomass, micro-generation and building integrated renewable energy systems;
• Support carbon reduction in local authority estates through energy audits, training, and strategy development;
• Advise local authorities in developing an evidence base and subsequent planning policies to encourage low-carbon buildings and decentralised energy generation as well as developing design briefs for new developments;
• Help developers and construction professionals comply with decentralised energy supply targets, ranging from scoping options at the pre-application and master planning stage through to detailed feasibility at the design stage;
• Carry out energy assessments of domestic, public and commercial buildings;
• Provide technical support for communities on appropriate energy technologies for their situation and for their engagement in large scale renewable energy projects.

We work with a wide range of organisations, from large public organisations and corporations to small companies and voluntary sector agencies. We combine a focus on buildings and energy systems with direct engagement with the people who live or work in them.
