LOW CARBON SUSTAINABLE DESIGN SOLUTIONS

As a company Integrated Services Design fully embraces the principles of low carbon sustainable design.  We take a holistic approach to all projects by bringing the expertise of our Low Carbon Consultants to the table at each of the design stages.  We employ engineers who are accredited as being Low Carbon Consultants through CIBSE, a scheme supported by the Carbon Trust and have a proven track record in the delivery of innovative low carbon buildings.  They bring practical low carbon design to the forefront working to established benchmarks for energy performance and CO₂ emissions. Their expertise covers:

Passive design Thermal comfort modelling Renewable energy systems Energy efficient design Façade design Fenestration optimization

Sustainable material selection Thermal energy modelling Carbon emissions Daylight factor analysis Carbon and Energy Benchmarking Low Water Consumption

By taking this holistic approach to the design often results in major capital and operational cost savings.  We also explore options to minimize reliance on mechanical and electrical systems by optimizing the efficiency of the built form and fabric, such as; intelligent façade design, increased levels of insulation, optimizing the use of natural ventilation to provide free cooling and limit summertime overheating whilst also maximizing daylight and useful solar heating in the winter.
