About
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.
