More recently the practice has been heavily involved in energy conservation, renewable energy, sustainability, BREEAM and SBEM evaluation. The practice has successfully completed three BREEAM excellent buildings. These projects have enabled the practice to be fully conversant with wind turbines, solar thermal, photo voltaic, ground source heat pumps and other new renewable technologies.
The Practice has in house software to thermally model buildings in order to assess its anticipated performance. The software used for this is TAS. The practice has registered Low Carbon Consultants who are accredited to carryout the new Part L2 calculations.
The Practice endeavours to employ and retain competent engineering staff and over 50% of our current staff have 10 years or more continuous service with the practice. In addition, where staff has the appropriate engineering and managerial qualities, we actively encourage promotion from within. Currently two of the existing partners have progressed to their current position within the practice on their merit.
The company has current certification for ISO 9001:2008, Quality Management Systems and is a member of Citation plc for all our Health and Safety advice.
