Zero Carbon Technologies
Dynamic Simulation Modelling (DSM)
DSM software is used for energy, carbon, comfort and thermal modelling. Once developed the virtual model is a powerful design tool and it is used to review alternative energy strategies, comparing running costs, evaluating alternative fuels, renewable feasibility, fabric improvements, minimising overheating, improving comfort, daylight control to name a few.
Fabric Perfomance
Thermal insulation is often considered to be the most cost effective investment when considering the life cycle cost and in-use carbon emissions from buildings. For new build, an optimum level of insulation can always be calculated which needs to consider thickness of insulation, impact of internal areas, area/window ratios, summer overheating impact, capital cost and running cost savings.
Energy Strategy & Carbon Reduction
An energy strategy will identify key areas of building design including fabric performance, primary energy sources, efficiency and energy recovery systems, renewable energy requirements and the associated benefit of each and compliance with regulatory conditions where required.
Renewable Technologies
We provide independent design advice for all forms of energy reduction, renewable energy and energy recovery systems. With extensive experience in both the design, on-site monitoring and commissioning of these systems we can advise on suitability of a particular technology, capital cost, payback periods, robustness of technology, embodied carbon, in-use carbon, spatial considerations, noise emissions and all aspects of suitability.
Thermal Comfort and Daylight
These studies provide quantitative assessment to help design buildings that are both thermally comfortable and provide optimal daylight conditions for occupant wellbeing and energy reduction. Increasingly a requirement of planning applications and BREEAM / LEED / NABERS assessments, BTP can provide high-quality input to help develop design and provide the necessary documentation to satisfy these targets.
