Low Carbon Building Design

In response to rising energy prices, building regulations and user health and comfort concerns, low carbon buildings require a rigorous approach to design, services and operation. This will deliver a building that maintains its value, costs less to run and provides a healthy and productive working environment for its occupants. Understanding where and how a building consumes energy is fundamental not only to its overall efficiency but also to a low carbon energy supply system, which is increasingly being demanded as part of the planning process. LowC is an originator and facilitator of low carbon design by bringing fresh expertise to a project team, together with an understanding of how to facilitate an existing team's resources towards a common goal.

Services include:

• Integration of energy efficiency measures into the concept and design of a development
  
• Building Energy Management Systems setup to control energy usage and occupant comfort
  
• Balancing energy demand with renewable energy supply to minimise CO2 emissions and reduce utility bills.
