The term ‘net zero carbon’ has become a major talking point for asset managers. Carbon Plan Engineering offer whole building evaluation consulting services to help clients with the transition to net zero for new-build constructions and fit-outs.

Our CIBSE LCC (Low Carbon Consultants) can provide feasibility assessments for passive building measures, HVAC improvements and renewable technology applications. We evaluate our client needs as well as the building and its energy demands to allow us to understand the cost, benefits and risks associated with investing in building performance. Our Investment Grade Audits allow asset managers and owners to make informed decisions and consider:

• Asset management service scheduling

• Optimisation of services

• Predictive maintenance due to the age of their mechanical and electrical systems

• Potential for Low and Zero Carbon technologies

We work with the latest guidance recommended by initiatives such as UKGBC, LETI and RIBA 2030 Climate Change to get client’s portfolios ready for future, mandatory net zero legislation. We offer services for calculating embodied carbon with the LCA process and operational carbon with CIBSE TM54 (all design stages), BSRIA Soft Landings and NABERS UK Design for Performance. We use these processes to design buildings with the lowest carbon footprint in terms of whole-life carbon which can be verified post-occupancy with metered data to achieve a net zero certification.
