It supports clients and design teams working on institutional, educational, commercial and larger residential buildings, combining energy modelling with practical advice on building fabric, comfort and carbon reduction.Heritage retrofit and insulation strategiesThe practice develops retrofit plans that bring together insulation, airtightness, thermal-bridge reduction and low-carbon heating. Work includes feasibility studies, fabric improvement strategies and heat decarbonisation plans, with attention to existing construction, heritage significance, moisture behaviour and practical delivery.Building physics and energy modellingServices include PHPP and DesignPH modelling, thermal-bridge calculations, WUFI moisture analysis, dynamic simulation, overheating assessments and daylight modelling. These tools help design teams compare options and understand the effects of proposed alterations on energy demand, indoor conditions and building fabric.Passivhaus, EnerPHit and whole-life carbonBeyond Carbon provides design consultancy for Passivhaus and EnerPHit projects, technical support for contractors, and independent certification services through qualified team members. Its carbon consultancy considers emissions associated with materials and construction alongside those arising during building operation. Services include whole-life carbon assessment, material comparisons and estate decarbonisation roadmaps.Heritage experienceAt Grade II* listed Frewin Hall in Oxford, Beyond Carbon acted as energy and retrofit consultant, helping develop internal woodfibre insulation and airtightness measures supported by physical testing and moisture analysis.At The Arc in Winchester, the practice contributed to a decarbonisation plan for a cultural venue incorporating a Grade II* listed building and a modern extension. Energy modelling was informed by measured fabric performance to help target appropriate improvements.The practice expanded through its merger with Delta Q in September 2026 and has bases in Bicester, London and Bristol.Contact Beyond Carbon to discuss heritage estates, complex retrofit schemes and larger building projects requiring specialist energy and carbon advice. https://conserveconnect.com/services/beyond-carbon ab233b682ec355648e7891e66c54191b Fri, 09 Oct 2026 19:25:19 +0000 Building Engineering Greengauge Building Energy Consultants is a UK-based building and engineering consultancy specializing in sustainable, low-energy design. Founded in 2010 on a houseboat on the River Avon in Wiltshire, the company has expanded into one of the nation's leading consultancies in its field. With offices in Wiltshire and Yorkshire, Greengauge collaborates with architects, homeowners, and commercial landlords across the UK on both new build and retrofit projects in residential and commercial sectors. Their mission is to create buildings that seamlessly blend sustainability with well-being, fostering spaces where individuals and communities can thrive.A core principle of Greengauge's approach is the 'Fabric First' strategy, emphasizing the importance of optimizing the building envelope to enhance energy efficiency and occupant comfort. Their comprehensive services in Building Physics include Passivhaus Design and Certification, AECB Certification, Building Fabric and Comfort analysis, Moisture Risk assessment, Thermal Bridging analysis, Dynamic Thermal Analysis, and ensuring Certification & Compliance. These services are tailored to ensure that buildings not only meet but exceed current energy performance standards.In the realm of Building Services, Greengauge offers expertise in Renewable Energy Systems, Lighting Design, and Building Information Modeling (BIM). Their team of certified Low Carbon Consultants advises on minimizing energy use and carbon emissions in both new and existing buildings, aligning with Part L of the Building Regulations. This holistic approach ensures that all aspects of a building's design contribute to its overall sustainability and efficiency.Recognizing the pivotal role of heritage buildings in addressing the climate crisis, Greengauge is committed to assessing and enhancing the thermal performance of such structures. They advocate for thoughtful retrofitting to reduce carbon footprints while preserving the historical integrity of buildings. This involves meticulous evaluation of current performance and the implementation of interventions that improve energy efficiency without compromising structural and aesthetic value.In Autumn 2024, Greengauge transitioned to an Employee Ownership Trust, granting employees a significant voice in the company's strategic direction and ensuring the preservation of its unique culture and ethos. This move reflects Greengauge's dedication to fostering an inclusive and forward-thinking workplace, reinforcing their commitment to delivering innovative and sustainable building solutions. https://conserveconnect.com/services/greengauge-building-energy-consultants 577ef1154f3240ad5b9b413aa7346a1e Mon, 16 Dec 2024 17:31:46 +0000 Building Engineering
