The primary aim of Part L is to reduce carbon emissions. More efficient buildings consume less energy which leads to a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and a lower carbon footprint. 

Part O calculations are needed to demonstrate  that a dwelling is not designed with an inherent summer overheating problem. The standard covers overheating in new residential buildings only.

Energy Statements may be required by the local authority during the planning stage of a project. An Energy Statement will outline how a building will meet energy efficiency standards that may be set nationally or sometimes locally.

Energy modelling and building simulation can provide influential information early in a project analysing how building form, function and physics of a development can achieve carbon and energy goals. 

Energy stratergies and LZC Feasibility studies establish the concept of how a development will be energised, heated and cooled efficiently and how LZC technologies can feed into that process productively. 

These studies provde quantitative assessment to help design buildings that are both thermally comfortable and provide optimal daylight conditions for occupant wellbeing and energy reduction. 

3-Dimensional Dynamic Simulation is one of the more sophisticated design tools we use to provide quantitative analysis and add rigour to the design process, to help shape and inform the building and optimise performance.
