Low-energy building

Energy Performance Certificates

Since 2008, Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) have been legally required for any commercial building over 50 m2 when it is built, sold or rented. The certificate is valid for 10 years and must be accompanied by any recommendations report. The revelations report should include references to the existing recognised benchmarks, with suggestions on cost-effective measures to improve energy performance.

Energy Efficiency in Building Services

energy efficiency in building services is essentially achieved by minimising the requirement for the building services and in doing so minimising the energy consumed. In a cold climate energy efficiency can be achieved by optimising heat gains through careful orientation of the building and by using suitable technologies in the construction of the building. Insulation and heat recovery should ensure that where heat is generated to warm a building it is not lost rapidly to be external environment.

Air Curtains

Air Curtains are just one of the ways that you can have the best of both worlds when trying to save energy. When you need to keep heat inside a building, but you need to keep doors open at the same time, air curtains provide a great solution.

Air curtains can be used for both external and internal doorways, wherever there is a large temperature difference on each side of a doorway.
