A Fully Integrated Sustainable Working Drawing Package
I am sure you would agree that successful detailing of projects is vital for the project’s success, this is especially important for highly sustainable developments. We can provide you with a service that combines our many years of Architectural design and detailing with environmental assessment to provide an integrated service that will be:
- Reliable, accurate and cost effective
- Fully integrated with code for sustainable homes (CSH)
- Provide supporting evidence, required for CSH
- Achieve high levels of air tightness
- Achieve good ‘U’ value’s
- Benefit from experience of Passivhaus detailing & design
- Reduce cold bridging
- Minimise renewable technologies & fully integrate where appropriate
- Benefit from experience of designing CSH 5* homes
- Ensure appropriate selection of sustainable materials
Cold Bridge Elimination
As part of our working drawing package we offer 2D computer analysis of details utilising software to highlight cold bridging weak points, enabling corrections to be made. This process also provides a Ψ (psi) values enabling better results in both PHPP (Passivhaus planning package) and SAP (standard assessment procedure).
- Saves money at construction
- Reduces unnecessary materials
- Reduces the risk of condensation
- Ensures buildability
- Improves your SAP / PHPP ratings
- Saves money and CO2 on fuel
- Increases comfort for the owner / tenant
Did you know that on highly efficient buildings, poorly designed joints between elements can double the heat loss of a building? We can solve this through computer analysis and careful detailing.
“We found eco design consultants work on the cold bridging invaluable, they were able to reduce the cold bridging considerably on our refurbishment project. It did not make the details any thicker and on one of the details they improved the efficiency of the house by 15% just by changing detailing and material specification” Gil Schalom, Gil Schalom Design
