Request a Quote Understanding Daylight & Sunlight Assessments Assessments evaluate how much natural light new buildings and outdoor spaces receive. They help ensure comfortable interiors, minimise overshadowing of neighbours, and guide urban developments toward sustainable, light-filled design. Our Assessment Process 1. Site & Design Review Evaluate layouts, window orientation, and surrounding structures for daylight access. 2. Light Modelling Simulate daylight (VSC, NSL) and sunlight (APSH) for rooms and external spaces. 3. Impact Assessment Analyse potential effects on neighbouring […] - [Services](https://apluseconsultancy.com/services/): Building Regulations Compliance Services What We Offer With years of hands-on experience, we’ve built a service offering that’s precise, reliable, and fully aligned with the latest building regulations. Every solution is grounded in expertise — nothing is added unless it meets a professional standard we stand behind. Here’s what we can confidently deliver for your project. - [Energy Performance Certificates](https://apluseconsultancy.com/services/energy-performance-certificates/): Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) An EPC provides a rating of a building’s energy efficiency. It is required when a property is built, sold, or rented in the UK and EU nations, helping guide energy-saving improvements. Get a Quote What Information Does an EPC Include? An EPC evaluates a building’s energy performance and provides practical recommendations for improvement. Key elements include: Energy Efficiency Rating – Graded from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). Estimated Energy Costs – Shows potential savings if energy efficiency upgrades are implemented. Carbon Emissions – Measures the environmental impact of the building. Recommendations – Suggests improvements […] - [Contact](https://apluseconsultancy.com/contact/) - [About us](https://apluseconsultancy.com/aboutus/): About Us – A+E About Us At A+E, we’re passionate about building a sustainable future.

Whether it’s a small residential project or a large commercial development, our dedicated team guides […] - [Water Efficiency Calculations](https://apluseconsultancy.com/services/water-efficiency-calculations/): Water Efficiency Calculations We assess water consumption for new residential developments to ensure compliance with Part G of the UK Building Regulations, helping you meet sustainability goals and reduce costs. Get a Quote Why Water Efficiency Calculations Matter Water efficiency calculations estimate how much water a new development will use per person per day. They ensure compliance with Part G of the Building Regulations, help conserve resources, and reduce operational costs for occupants. Key Factors Considered Flow Rates of Taps & Showers – Measures water usage from kitchen and bathroom taps. Toilet Flush Volume – Assesses water per flush (dual […] - [Psi (Ψ) Calculations](https://apluseconsultancy.com/services/psi-%cf%88-calculations/): Psi (Ψ) Calculations Psi (Ψ) calculations assess thermal bridging at junctions between building elements, helping reduce heat loss, improve energy performance, and ensure compliance with Part L of UK Building Regulations. Request a Quote Understanding Thermal Bridging Thermal bridging occurs where heat escapes through junctions between walls, floors, roofs, doors, and windows. Psi calculations measure these losses to optimize insulation and minimize energy waste. By addressing thermal bridging early, buildings achieve better SAP and SBEM scores, lower carbon emissions, and reduced risk of condensation and mould. Key Considerations in Psi Calculations Junction Types Assessment of walls, floors, roofs, windows, and […] - [SBEM Calculations](https://apluseconsultancy.com/services/sbem-calculations/): SBEM Calculations SBEM (Simplified Building Energy Model) calculations assess energy performance in non-domestic buildings, predicting energy use, CO₂ emissions, and compliance with Part L of the Building Regulations. Request a Quote Why SBEM Matters SBEM calculations are essential for new commercial buildings, extensions, and refurbishments. They help determine energy ratings for EPCs, ensure regulatory compliance, and identify opportunities to improve efficiency and reduce operational costs. By analysing building fabric, systems, and usage patterns, SBEM provides a clear picture of energy demand and carbon emissions, enabling smarter design decisions. Core Components of SBEM Calculations Building Fabric Insulation, airtightness, and thermal bridging […] - [SAP Calculations](https://apluseconsultancy.com/services/sap-calculations/): SAP Calculations SAP (Standard Assessment Procedure) calculations assess the energy efficiency of residential buildings, predicting energy use, carbon emissions, and fuel costs, ensuring compliance with Building Regulations Part L. Request a Quote Why SAP Calculations Are Needed Building Regulation Compliance – Required for new builds, conversions, and some extensions. Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) – Determines the EPC rating for a property. Sustainability & Carbon Targets – Helps developers meet carbon reduction goals. Design Optimization – Identifies ways to improve energy efficiency. Key Elements of SAP Calculations Building Fabric Performance Insulation levels, airtightness, and thermal bridging assessment. Heating & Hot Water […] - [Overheating Assessments](https://apluseconsultancy.com/services/overheating-assessments/): Overheating Calculations Technical overheating risk assessments to ensure Part O compliance, thermal comfort, and climate-resilient building design. Request a Quote Understanding Overheating Risk As buildings become more airtight and energy efficient, managing internal heat is increasingly important. Overheating calculations identify potential risks early, helping designers create comfortable spaces without relying on mechanical cooling. Our Assessment Process 1. Design Review Analysis of layouts, glazing, orientation, and ventilation strategies. 2. Thermal Modelling Simulation of internal temperatures using Part O or dynamic modelling methods. 3. Risk Evaluation Identification of rooms and periods vulnerable to overheating. 4. Mitigation Strategy Clear, practical design recommendations to […] - [Sustainability Statements](https://apluseconsultancy.com/services/sustainability-statements/): Sustainability Statements A Sustainability Statement helps planning authorities evaluate the environmental and social sustainability of a project, ensuring it meets future sustainability goals and contributes positively to the local community.
