SUSTAINABILITY
CONSULTING
RCDC are experts in sustainable buildings. We can tailor our offering to suit the requirements of any given client or project and offer a comprehensive suite of services designed to enhance the environmental performance and sustainability of buildings. Our expertise includes the preparation of Part L, EPC, and Planning Statements, essential for demonstrating compliance with the latest building regulations and sustainability standards. We also conduct Embodied Carbon Reviews to assess and minimise the carbon footprint associated with the materials and construction processes of a building. Our TM54 Based Energy Reduction Assessments provide detailed insights into potential energy savings, using rigorous methodologies to identify efficient energy use strategies. Additionally, our In Use Data Analysis leverages actual building usage data to optimise operational efficiency and reduce environmental impact. Together, these offerings empower our clients to achieve their sustainability goals, ensuring their projects are not only compliant but also leaders in environmental stewardship.
We help our clients design truly sustainable buildings through digitally enabled design processes. Collaboration is a key part of our approach, and we work closely with clients and architects to define and design buildings that meet and exceed expectations, whilst also meeting RCDC's own zero carbon objectives.
Our typical scope includes the following:
Energy and Sustainability statements as part of planning proposals,
Undertake predictive energy calculations to determine how much energy buildings are likely to use, and provide advice on how to reduce this,
Provide details on how to achieve Net Zero Carbon performance for buildings through predictive energy modelling,
Provision of As Designed and As Built Energy Performance Certificates.
Review of energy usage to provide insight on how building energy usage can be reduced.
