Design for Performance (DfP), particularly NABERS UK certification, is a methodology that can benefit the built environment and create value for asset owners, developers or building operators. Learn more about this process and what it can do for you.
Steady-State vs Dynamic Heating Loads: Why It Matters.
During the design of new and refurbished buildings, a series of calculations are undertaken by engineers when designing their heating systems. Get them wrong and the systems will operate at conditions they weren’t designed for, resulting in inadequate levels of comfort, and increased energy consumption, fuel costs, and carbon emissions.
Navigating the New Overheating Standards in Section 3 of the Scottish Building Regulations: How Design Teams Can Succeed
As the architectural landscape evolves, so do the regulatory frameworks governing building design and construction. In Scotland, the recent updates to the Building Regulations have brought significant changes, particularly in addressing the critical issue of overheating within buildings. While these standards represent a positive step towards enhancing occupant comfort and reducing energy consumption, they also pose distinct challenges for design teams tasked with ensuring compliance without compromising on design integrity.
