Energy Advisory & Early-Stage Strategy

Strategic energy advisory at the earliest stages of project development.

We provide energy advisory at concept stage, when the biggest performance decisions are still open

How We Work

Passive-first hierarchy: orientation, shading, thermal mass, then efficient systems and renewables.

01
Climate & site

Analyse solar exposure, wind patterns, and microclimate conditions to establish the performance context.

02
Massing comparison

Test energy implications of different massing options and orientations with quantified comparisons.

03
Envelope strategy

Evaluate façade options, glazing ratios, and shading concepts, balancing energy, daylight, and design.

04
Decision outputs

Deliver fast, visual analysis with clear comparisons and quantified energy and carbon implications.
