skills and services

We design mechanical, electrical and public health systems to meet all building services needs. Our solutions are always energy efficient and simple to operate and maintain. 

• Heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC)
• Electrical supply and distribution
• Lighting, power and lifts
• Hot and cold water systems
• Plumbing and drainage
• Fire protection
• Security systems 
• IT infrastructure

As energy and low carbon consultants we offer expert advice on improving building conditions and performance. We support clients from early planning stages and throughout design development, tender and construction, providing strategies to achieve their specific project aspirations, as well as operational goals such as BREEAM and Net Zero Carbon.

We are committed to creating comfortable and safe indoor environments with minimum reliance on energy-intensive systems. We do this by integrating passive design features, highly efficient mechanical and electrical systems, and renewable energy sources where possible. In collaboration with architects and other project partners we develop resilient building services designs that address the challenges of a changing climate.

Incorporating passive design features reduces reliance on gas and electricity, limits energy demand, and minimizes environmental impact. We assess the passive design potential in all our projects, seeking to manage indoor environments via a fabric first approach, optimizing insulation, fenestration, air tightness, solar shading, thermal mass and natural ventilation. Not only does this minimize energy demand for heating, cooling and lighting, it also reduces the complexity, capital cost and operational cost of the building services.

We use industry-leading dynamic simulation software to assess building performance and the potential to reduce energy demand. In cooperation with the architects, we test alternative solutions to inform the development of the building design to achieve the optimal solution which achieves the architectural intent and meets or exceeds building standards. 

We are experts in renewable energy systems, including heat pumps, photovoltaics, solar thermal and biomass, which are essential to achieve net zero carbon buildings. We will always select the most appropriate systems for the building and its usage patterns, ensuring that the equipment we specify is of proven quality and reliability, but also cost effective.
