Energy
No design consultancy can successfully operate without interweaving energy and sustainability considerations into every design and consultation undertaken within their practice. For this reason, we have no Energy or Sustainability department at WGM Consulting Engineers; we are all in this together and every Engineer is, by default, sustainability driven. With further in-house capabilities of sustainability modelling as well as SBEM, EPC and SAP calculation, all energy-efficiency considerations are factored into each of our designs.
We constantly keep abreast of new technology and have experience in the implementation of the full range of renewable energy services. Our specialist support on design commissions enables low energy to be embedded in our design philosophy, which includes providing design support to ensure compliance with regulations and preparation of Low and Zero Carbon Technology (LZCT) reports. Furthermore, WGM Consulting Engineers enjoy in-house SBEM, EPC and SAP calculations with Low Carbon Energy Assessors ready to glean the most sustainable solution for your buildings.
The role of our energy and environmental engineers also includes an ongoing involvement in monitoring energy consumption of occupied buildings. This service includes advising tenants, landlords and managing agents on energy initiatives, benchmarking of energy consumption and future investment planning. Our Energy Monitoring System (EMS) allows us to continuously monitor energy consumption via the use of smart meters. This system allows us to monitor, investigate and manage areas of abnormally high consumption.
WGM Consulting Engineers provides training to building facilities managers and keeps our clients abreast of new technology and the increasing range of energy regulations now in force.
